What Causes Extreme Sweating at Night During Sleep? Posted: 02-14-06 17:17pm
I have began to sweat extremeley bad at
night while I am sleeping. Recently I
have kicked up my workouts to a more
strenious level. I am not sure if that
has something to do with or not. During
the day I do not sweat abnormally. I am a
very healthy young woman who eats very
well. I am frustrated with this, and it
is very uncomfortable at night. Please
help. Thanks.
Extreme sweating during the night could be
caused by increased body temperature
(above 37oC). You can measure your body
temperature and visit your doctor for
blood analyses. Some chronic infective
diseases cause high temperature and
sweating during the night.
