What can night sweats be in..

I've been waking up at night for the past few nights drenched in sweat. So far I've tried lowering the temperature in my room, which hasn't helped. I sleep in cotton PJs (shorts and t-shirt) and have cotton sheets. Any ideas? I'm in generally good health. I don't have any other signs of TB so I don't think it is that.

If you are on any kind of psych meds, for depression or anxiety or whatever, many of them have this as a side effect.

Any other symptoms? Nights sweats are usually indicative of some low grade infection (like TB). Get a proper checkup from a doctor.

How old are you? You could be perimenopausal, which can come on as early as your 30s.

Here's a site with lots of info:

you need a TB test anyway and check up for an underlying infection which you might not know about but your body is heating up trying to fight off something. Or your metabolism might be overactive due to thyroid condition.

How do you know you are not menopausal. I started having night sweats when I was 32 or 33 anything is possible. I sleep with the air conditioner in my room on and a fan and I still get hot.
