What Causes Severe Night Sweats And Extreme Fatigue?

My mother has had chronic night sweats over the last 2.5 weeks; is extremely fatigued and can barely get out of bed. Prior to that she was extremely active. She also has lost 7 lbs. over the last week. She has no appetite. I took her in and her blood count is at 10, and she is diagnosed as anemic, but she keeps complaining that the right side of her throat hurts and it may be a little swollen. Should we be checking for something else?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

From your symptoms, I feel she might be suffering from hyperthyroidism. I will suggest you see the doctor for a complete medical evaluation and thyroid function tests and if need be, a thyroid scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mbuomboh Veranso
