What Causes Sweating At Night?
Hi, my neck sweats a lot at night when I m sleeping. I shower every single night before I go to bed. When I wake up, I notice my shirt is moist and smells like vinegar. This has been happening for as long as I can remember. I m 23 yrs old. I do have a scar on my neck and part of my upper back from surgery I had a few years back. Is the sweat smell related to the scar? What can I do? Thanks for answering

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if you have a excessive sweating then this is nothing to worry because this could be normal phenomenon and some time happens due to increased Basic Metabolic rate, still better to get done the hemoglobin test, and check out the atmosphere too, take care and have a nice day.
