Posted on Tue, 30 Apr 2019

Question: Hi. I%E2%80%99ve been experiencing night sweats when I sleep. Usually when I%E2%80%99m sleeping on a memory form bed. I%E2%80%99m scared about cancer. I%E2%80%99m taking Zoloft 100mg a day as an antidepressant. They are not drenching night sweats but they do make my sheets and shirt damp and mostly just come from my back only not my entire body sweats. I don%E2%80%99t have a fever or additional symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Zoloft

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking

In my opinion your symptoms are not related to cancer, because the cancer diagnosis it’s complicated.Sweating alone as symptom it’s not significant for the cancer diagnosis

Sweating it’s one of the side effects of Zoloft .
I will suggest you too consult your doctor for the probability of dose changing ,in case that your doctor agree with this conclusion.

Of course, the weight of the body during the day is increased due to the consumption of foods and fluids,so that its normal

The symptoms of gastric cancer may include loss of appetite and faster e much more weight loss
