Why Would One Experience Cold Sweats And Chills After Having A Rib Injury?
I have cold sweats at night and daytime. They happen for about 20 minutes every hour or two and keep me awake a lot. I went through 3 nightgowns and 4 towels last night. I sweat only on my left side and get chills at the same time. I did fall hard against my ribs about 2 weeks ago and noticed them starting about that time. My ribs are still sore. I had this for a short time last year after surgery when I hurt my back in bed., but it was all over my body that time. How can I get help? My cardiologist and family doctor are both puzzled.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is very common condition seen but most of the time it turned unremarkable and no specific reason found out and this complains comes around without treatment, if you do not gone to neurologist then I would advise you to have opinion from him/her this would be final opinion if nothing comes out in this then just forget it, have nice day.
