Night sweats!
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi ladies, So on top of my migraines, off balanced, dizziness, fatigue, etc. I have been having night sweats for the past 3 weeks. I have a physical coming up in a couple of days. I am not sure if this is a new stage of perimeno or what. I am going to have the dr check my bloods... thyroid, hormones, lyme disease, and regular blood work. Just got diagnosed with vestibular migraine last month. The med I am taking said it can cause sweats. However, I started the med in Dec. .. I am so sick of all of this! Of course now I think the worst again! How many more symptoms can I possibly have? Hopefully, the blood work can sort it out.
My night sweats have been from 2am-5am. Sweaty face, neck, chest. Sometimes head toe. Then chilled...repeat...3-6x per night. I blast my fan, then get cold. No fever. Seriously! I am only 41.

Welcome to perimenopause. That was me last night. Migraine, woke up sweating, then froze so piled on the blankets, then sweating again. Ugh. I'm only 39. And on top of it, I finally got my period after 45 days. (last break was 4 months...) so I'm dealing with period symptoms AND peri symptoms. Yay me.

Hi Julee! I had a migraine too last night. Do sweat every night? Ah, yes, my period...it is due, but who knows if it is coming. Last month it lasted a day...only needed a liner. My longest without is 57 days. I went to the hair salon this morning...have not been there in over a year! I wore a mask for the fumes. My head was whirling the whole time. This just sucks!

I don't sweat every night. Some nights I'm so cold I just cannot get warm lol It's a rollercoaster . My longest without a period was four months so far. Then this last time was like 45 days and brought with it a migraine from hell. And yes, smells bother me so much now!

Hi Lou, yeah tough call on not knowing if the meds are causing the sweats or not.. I get night sweats too they cycle throughout the month for about a week long same here between like 2 and 5 am sucks, I wake up head drenched like I just got out of the shower, neck back and chest, then I freeze.. I don't even break a sweat during the day, ive never been a sweater ever just at night when I sleep so weird...

Hey gypsy! Wow! same for you too. I read that migraine can make us sweat too...something to do with blood vessels constricting...vasomotor or whatever! All so confusing! I really do not sweat during the day either...my hot flashes/flushes are like I look embarrassed from the neck up. But, I will check my temp and it will be 96 or something.I am going to push for an ANA test too to recheck for auto immune and thyroid.

Oh I never knew could be caused by the migraines well which in turn are caused by the hormones.. What a bunch of confusing mess lol!!!!

hello, yes I started getting night sweats in early 40's along with migraines which are hormone related. Now post menopause and 55, don't get migraines very much (touch wood), but all the other joys of menopause including nights sweats, still happening! seems very much stress related now. Bit of a vicious circle with bad night leading to bad days!

Hi Claire you give me hope thatone day my migraines will become a thing of the past... That is one set of symptoms I never want back.. How long did you suffer with migraines and what did you take if anything to help relieve them? Did you also get the vertigo light sensitivity and off balance with nausea and auras with them.. Did they just go away all on their own? Thanks:)

I have had the night sweats every night for a year now . It used to be for a week prior to having my period that I would get them. I hope that's normal in peri to get them every night like that for so long. I think your doing the right thing having blood work done . My thyroid was fine and other things but this is driving me insane. I hope I can get relief soon. Im sorry you are having the headache issue. I want had that yet. Missed past 2 periods though . So that's where I am at on this roller coaster . I have no idea what is next. Headaches, no more periods, heavy bleeding , spotting or what. This is tough best of luck. Told I was in peri 2 years ago been having symptoms for about 4

Hi Lou, these night sweats are driving me mad. I find myself wandering around the house just trying to cool down.
i had a full hysterectomy in August 2018 and I'm questioning whether i should have put myself through it. PMS was bad but I've not really felt myself since having the op. i have been forced into menopause through having the op, I have recently started taking HRT (Elleste Solo) but i just want to feel well again...feel so down at the minute.

Hi Diane, I hope HRT helps you. I tried going back on BC pill a couple of months ago...my migraines went crazy. My obgyn will not give me HRT until I am in meno. Today, I got blood work done to see where I am at. My primary dr prescribed me gabapentin for the flashes and sleep. I just posted a discussion. Need to do my research, but I am willing to try it...I just want some relief.
