What Is Causing Night Sweats In Teenager?

Ok my son is 13.5 in the middle of a growth spurt and has woke up twice early in the morning with night sweats. The sheets are completely soaked. Is this normal or should I worry? He doesn't have any other issues. Is fit, plays many sports. And eats healthy fruits, veggies, etc.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that if your son is having sweating in the night then hemoglobin need to be seen, because low hemoglobin could be the cause of this, second possibility of congenital cardiac condition, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
