Menopause – The hot flashes that accompany the menopausal transition can occur at night and cause sweating. This is a very common cause of night sweats in perimenopausal women.
Idiopathic hyperhidrosis – Idiopathic hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the body chronically produces too much sweat without any identifiable medical cause.
Infections – Classically, tuberculosis is the infection most commonly associated with night sweats. However, bacterial infections, such as endocarditis (inflammation of the heart valves), osteomyelitis (inflammation within the bones), and abscesses all may result in night sweats. Night sweats are also a symptom of AIDS virus (HIV) infection.
Cancers – Night sweats are an early symptom of some cancers. The most common type of cancer associated with night sweats is lymphoma. However, people who have an undiagnosed cancer frequently have other symptoms as well, such as unexplained weight loss and fevers.
Medications – Taking certain medications can lead to night sweats. In cases without other physical symptoms or signs of tumor or infection, medications are often determined to be the cause of night sweats. Antidepressant medications are a common type of medication that can lead to night sweats. All types of antidepressants can cause night sweats as a side effect, with a range in incidence from 8 to 22% of persons taking antidepressant drugs. Other psychiatric drugs have also been associated with night sweats. Medicines taken to lower fever such as aspirin and acetaminophen can sometimes lead to sweating. Other types of drugs can cause flushing, which, as mentioned above, may be confused with night sweats. Some of the many drugs that can cause flushing include:
niacin (taken in the higher doses used for lipid disorders),
tamoxifen,
hydralazine,
nitroglycerine, and
sildenafil (Viagra).
Many other drugs not mentioned above, including cortisone medications such as prednisone and prednisolone, may also be associated with flushing or night sweats.

Hypoglycemia – Sometimes low blood glucose can cause sweating. People who are taking insulin or oral anti-diabetic medications may experience hypoglycemia at night that is accompanied by sweating.
Hormone disorders - Sweating or flushing can be seen with several hormone disorders, including pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome, and hyperthyroidism.
Neurologic conditions – Uncommonly, neurologic conditions including autonomic dysreflexia, post-traumatic syringomyelia, stroke, and autonomic neuropathy may cause increased sweating and possibly lead to night sweats.

If Excessive sweating is your problem you'll find here vert good tips: http://hyperhidrosis.toptips.org



About 2% to 3% of the general population experience excessive sweating a condition called hyperhidrosis which can occur with or without a trigger. The most common type is called primary (or focal) hyperhidrosis and it has no known cause, although it seems to run in families. You may have a different type of excessive sweating called secondary (or generalized) hyperhidrosis.
This means that your symptoms may be due to an underlying medical condition or disease (e.g., nerve damage or a hormone disorder), or due to a side effect of a medication you are taking. Talk to your doctor.
Regards

A couple of possibilities:

-thick PJ's/heavy sheets or bedding that gets you too hot at night
-hot temperatures in your home
-certain drugs cause night sweats as a side effect
-serious diseases (like TB) which should be evaluated by a doctor

>>>>Sleep hyperhidrosis, more commonly known as the night sweats, is the occurrence of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) during sleep. The sufferer may or may not also suffer from excessive perspiration whilst awake.

Night sweats may occur for genetic reasons and may be relatively harmless. However, they can be distressing and disrupt sleep patterns if severe; the patient may be frequently awakened due to the discomfort of damp sleepwear.

One of the most common causes of night sweats in women over 40 is the hormonal changes related to menopause and perimenopause. This is a normal part of menopause and while annoying, it is not necessarily dangerous or a sign of underlying disease. Some women experience night sweats during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

Sleep hyperhidrosis may occur at any age, but is most commonly seen in early adulthood.

>>>>There are several SERIOUS causes of night sweats, however they have other accompanying symptoms.

Tuberculosis causes drenching night sweats, but is accompanied by constant productive cough, fatigue and weight loss.

AIDS causes drenching night sweats, but is accompanied by a constellation of other possible symptoms including weight loss, cough, fatigue, purple skin spots, diarrhea, etc.

Congestive heart failure causes (among other things) sweats, both day and night, but causes other symptoms like high blood pressure, palpitations, fatigue with exercise, and breathlessness.

Some of the lesser causes of night sweats are (1) viral infections including mononucleosis. Have you checked your temp? Sometimes unobvious temperature cycling can cause sweats. (2)perimenopause or PMS. (3) weather changes, if the days (or nights) are warmer than usual (4)nightmares.

One of the most common causes of lower leg cramps and acheness is low potassium (K); I wonder if you're losing K as a result of sweating? Try increasing your potassium intake. Vegetables and fruits are high in K and/or add a couple of 90 mg-equivalent K supplements. Since normal dietary intake is supposed to be 3000 mg, supplements in this range are NOT an "overdose".

One possible cause would be you are having low blood sugars. Does that seem like it could be it?

My wife is diabetic and when she goes low that is the only way I can tell it. She sweats.

Check it out. If it is this it could become very serious. Even death.

Hey, of the many programs that I have ever been on, the only diet that succeeded for me was Adams fat code (find it on google). It was truly the most incredible program that simply worked.
