What Causes Sweating During Sleep?

For about 2 years I sweat during sleep. More during naps. I had my spleen removed almost 2 years ago from an accident. I have NO hormones ( I ve taken the salva tests ) & I am currently taking lexapro & synthroid. I have HORRIED dreams that a mother should NOT have!! I mostly sweat in the chest area sometimes down my legs. So bad that I have to change clothes during the nights or after I nap. The sweat is a sweet smell (kinda)

Hello
The problem here could be a side effect from the Lexapro or from too high a dose of the Synthroid
Other considerations would be lymphoma or an infection like tuberculosis.

You need to discuss this with your doctor
