What Causes Excessive Night Sweats?
Hi I am 67 year old female. I have been having more night sweats lately but I do not put my air conditioning on but my windows are open and fans on. This morning I woke up with more sweating, BP was elevated but after my meds it went down. Keep checking it and it is 120/82 now. It is 80 degrees in my house, 90 outside and I have started sweating again. I am drinking plenty of liquids. I do not feel faint, dizzy, tired. I went on a 1.5 mile relaxed walk about 10am and of course sweat like normal

Hello,
Excessive sweating may be related to infection diseases such TBC, HIV etc, thyroid problems such hyperthyroidism or blood diseases such non Hodgkin lymphoma.
Do a total blood count with formula, thyroid hormone levels T3, T4 and TSH levels and also HIV 1,2 tests. You can send the results to me for interpretation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
