What can be causing my nightsweats??!?.....i dont take any medication?

Answer 1

I started taking protein powder for awhile, hoping it would help with my health.

after a couple of months I started getting night sweats. I would be so hot that my window would be wide open during the winter months ( we have snow here).

I thought is was PMS or hormones or somthing, but then I realized this started after taking the powder. I discontinued taking it and my sleep is back on track.

I am not assuming you are taking this but you might be somehow ingesting an abundance of protein, either in your foods or vitamins that may be a reason for this.

on the other hand, night sweats can be considered a sleep disorder if it becomes bad enough to wake you up night after night, wet and shivering, it has gone beyond "natural.

Below is a list of possible causes to your problem.
Diabetes Insipidus
Hyperthyroidism
Secretion from certain cells in the brain
Anemia
Hypothalamic lesions
Epilepsy
Strokes
Cerebral palsy
Migraine
Spinal cord infarction
Head injury
Familial dysautomia
Anti-nausea medication used in pregnancy
Obstructive sleep apnea

Answer 2

Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea means excessive sweating; sweating too much
The most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to overactive sweat glands that affect certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face or underarms.
This form of hyperhidrosis can't be prevented and isn't contagious because it was probably inherited (although the condition may skip a generation). Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is total body
sweating prompted by secondary medical conditions or medications.

The real cause of night sweats and
hot flashes in menopause
Most women are told that the cause of hot flashes and night sweats is the decline in estrogen production from our ovaries in perimenopause and menopause.

Happily, that’s wrong! (If it were true, we’d have hot flashes and night sweats for the rest of our lives — because once our estrogen production falls, it doesn’t recover. And as you know, hot flashes generally stop sometime after menopause.) So what is the real cause and how do you find relief?

The cause of night sweats and hot flashes
Hormonal balance is your body’s natural state. But when there are too many demands on your body, its ability to balance your hormones is overwhelmed.

This hormonal imbalance causes hot flashes and night sweats. Not surprisingly, the demands that create that imbalance tend to peak in perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause itself. These symptoms are one of the main ways your body asks for help.

A recent report on menopause determined that lifestyle and psychological factors can increase the number and severity of hot flashes that a woman experiences. In fact, women who tested at a high level of anxiety (without depression) had nearly five times the number of hot flashes as those who tested low. Women who smoked experienced twice the amount. Being overweight led to an increase in annoying hot flashes, as well.

We encourage you to listen to your body and respond. The good news is that you can fix the underlying causes of hot flashes.

Take control of hot flashes and night sweats

There are natural solutions to fix the underlying causes of hot flashes and night sweats. The basic approach is to increase the support you give your body. Over time, you should also try to reduce or manage the demands you experience. You will find that these hot flash therapies will help relieve other menopause symptoms as well.

How do you increase the support and so get relief from hot flashes? In over 21 years of medical practice, we’ve helped tens of thousands of women find a personal solution to hormonal balance. And now we offer that program for your use at home.

Hot flash therapies without hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

In the past, HRT was the conventional solution to menopause symptoms like hot flashes. For over 20 years we have recommended instead that your first choice should be to support your body in a natural way. This gets at the underlying problems and produces the best long-term results — without the risks of prescription drugs commonly used in hormone replacement therapy. Many women find that with the proper support, their own bodies can correct the hormonal imbalance that is the real cause of their night sweats.

Of course, the choice to use HRT is a personal one. We simply want to improve your health choices and support you in what you decide is best for you. (See our article on the health risks of HRT.)

Our Personal Program has been very successful in delivering natural relief for hot flashes and night sweats. So here’s what we recommend you do next:

If you’d like to get started, the first step is to take our on-line Hormonal Balance Profile. It’s easy, informative, and free.
