Any Gps - Night Sweats unknown?

[Bountyboo]

So just a bit of context . Im under Neurology for Headache conditions and have been for some time so feeling unwell is normal for me sadly .
I have two kids though and for past few months wake feeling flu like achy just unwell but most worrying is ongoing swollen nodes under arms and night sweats .
Nodes have been scanned and declared normal reactive nodes and not big enough to warrant a biopsy .
All blood tests normal / Chest xray normal and even ct scan of Chest pelvis declared all normal .
My worry is im still getting thr night sweats - im not overweight / hormones ok ( mid 30s) Gp suggested fibro …. is there anything else im missing ?
What baffles me is i sleep naked , not a sweaty person in the day and no ongoing fevers so why is it happening at night ?
Any ideas would be great as i feel myself ( any my gp ) are slightly at a loss and i would hate to of missed something especially as i feel so unwell all time .

Only other thing is i was diagnosed undifferentiated tissue disease due to high positive ana but doc thinks thats unconnected .
Only blood test not normal was High Ferritin which ive had since birth of my little girl . Everything else within range and normal !

Could you try some HRT to see if it makes a difference?

I am on the highest amount of HRT oestrogen and still get night sweats a few times a week.

My gynae suggested trying venlafexine which is and anti-D but at a very low level stops sweats.

But if you aren't on HRT you could try a low dose. You can be going into peri meno at your age it isn't totally unheard of.

@Lobstercrisps Thanks for reply . Hormone levels all fine so doc doesnt think its that . So frustrating !

That's kind of irrelevant.

Hormone levels fluctuate from minute to minute and hour to hour and women are not tested for peri-meno, HRT is prescribed on the back of symptoms, not blood tests.

You can always ask to try it if you want to.

Mid 30s I'd like to look at everything else before assuming peri

Undifferentiated connective tissue disease can cause sweats.

do you have hypermobility?

post covid histamineactivation can to cause sweats

don’t
forget to get a urine infection ruled out and a poo screen

ultimately- see a private rheumatologist rather than relying on a forum

@midgetastic ye thats kind of my view . Periods are regular and normal . Personally i dont think its Peri ive literally only just turned 35

@Bubblebuttress I am seeing a Rheum ( they ordered the ct scan ) which was clear . No hypermobility no . Urine and Stool tests all ok . I just cant help being concerned

You are under a Neurologist for headaches is that right? Have you ever had a head CT or MRI?

@MissyB1 ive had both - Always fine

How old is your youngest child? Have you recently stopped breastfeeding? I found I had terrible night sweats after doing this. Even though my baby was 13 months and I had been only feeding once or twice a day.

@Chef64 shes 2 and no i didnt breastfeed so cant be that . Its very weird

On any medication? Anti-depressants for example?

@Chef64 not a thing . I was on a CGRP drug for migraine but came off it back in May due to S/effects

any other ideas ? x

Not to play down what you are experiencing because I know it's so uncomfortable but are you stressed/anxious over the other conditions you are dealing with? Anxiety can cause so many symptoms it can be really worrying! Try CBD oil ?

Also is your bedroom cool? Maybe try a lower tog duvet aswell. Just for comfort if nothing else !

Hope you get to the bottom of it x

@TTCNO2AT44 I am anxious about it yet and if im honest would LOVE that to be the answer ! My fear is its something worse and that may in turn be making things worse . I actually have cbd oil so its worth a try thankyou ! x

Have you had a Transferrin Saturation Test (TSAT) test. High ferritin could beHaemochromatosis which does cause night sweats.

Simple blood TSAT blood test would rule this out

Have you been checked for lupus

Pretty sure night sweats are normal for some people. I get them. So do my kids fairly often. Other half does sometimes.

I had horrific night sweats. GP sent me for ever test under the sun, but told me that he thought it was anxiety. He thought I was incredibly anxious but squashing it down during the day, and night sweats were the only way it could make itself known. I started on sertraline and it changed my life, in all honesty. Plus, I was thrilled it was anxiety and not cancer!

@JiminaSlump how often were you getting them and what tests did you have ? I would be thrilled also ! How are you now ? Did you have other symptoms ? x

@CityofRojas i hope it is just normal but because they are regular it does concern me ! x

@KeenOtter They dont think its that as ferritin is gradually decreasing and in pregnancy was actually low and i had iron transfusion

@bradypuss Yes ive seen a rheum … only lupus sign is high ana

As far as I am aware Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition and shouldn't cause swollen nodes or night sweats
