Night Sweats

Age 42, massive night sweats. Nothing else going on. Should I do anything? It doesn't happen all the time either?

Mine have been extremely variable. Got worse after jabs. More waking up v hot at night too, only had sweats more recently.

Was chatting to a colleague who said it goes through phases.

Evening primrose oil helped with mine

Mine go through phases, I will be soaked some nights and will need to lie on a towel or move beds
Other nights are fine

Sadly I haven't found anything that helps yet, despite now starting HRT

keeping the room cool, thin duvet, even then I normally just have the top sheet on me with the duvet over my thighs only
Anything further up and I end up drenched

Wool duvet, more regulated, didn’t wake up and have to change the sheets twice a night. HRT too….

I've just started this too and am also 42. It's strange as some nights I wake up drenched but cold, and other nights I wake up hot and sweaty but the sweat is only down the back of my legs and around the groin area - very odd! And then other nights nothing happens.

try sage leaf supplements! Worked for me!

Seconded. They helped so much. My GP also prescribed Gabapentin as one of the side effects apparently stops you sweating. Absolute game changer for me

Stopped drinking alcohol much plus HRT. The combo worked for me
