woke up sweating

Has this happened to you before or is this a singular incident?

Also, are you taking any medications?

no it has not...and i don't take meds. i am 24 male.

Although many health conditions (eg, chronic infections, certain malignancies, and menopause) have been listed as causes of night sweats , few if any of these claims of causation have actually been proven.

Some possible causes for night sweats include:

* Any illness that causes a fever and chills
* Medications and prescription drug
* Drugs or alcohol
* Spicy foods
* Anxiety or anti-anxiety medications
* Menopause (not in your case!)
* Andropause (male menopause)
* Hormone disorders
* Sleep Apnea - (you stop breathing during sleep)
* Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD)
* Infectious diseases, such as HIV, AIDS, and tuberculosis
* Bacterial infections
* Cancer
* Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
* Diabetes Insipidus
* Neurological conditions

If you're still worried after a few days, I suggest that you inform your GP of the night sweats. Otherwise, it just may have been a one-time thing...

This has happened to me before, I woke up completely drenched and the sheets were so wet I had to change them. Not very pleasant. If it was just a one-time thing, I wouldn't worry.

yeah it has happened to me several times

It Happened to me twice in one night, i have been suffering from anxiety, i just took my first anxiety tablet last night.

It happens with me also sometimes.

I panicked when i woke up, but i calmed down, i slept better last night. Thanks for your reply, hope you are well? Best wishes Phil
