Sweating but not hot?

9 replies

I'm fairly sure I'm in peri (47): irregular periods, fucking humongous hormonal surges.

My new latest symptom seems to be sweating. But everything I'm reading about sweating seems to relate to hot flushes. I don't feel hot, I'm not feeling 'interally hot', not flushing, nothing. But I am SWEATING slightly and often and this is NEW.

I'm not at all ill, it's nothing like that.

Anyone else had anything like this?

Yes, me !
I don’t get the much talked about ‘hot flush’ , I just get hotter than anyone else when I’m doing something. Like if I’m cleaning or doing an exercise class.

Yes, I got that. It's horrible.

I'm not actually doing anything excessively active. Just darting round the house doing bits. 😭

It happens to me many nights. I'm not hot but drenched and have to change nightwear, underwear. Even the sheet and duvet cover can be damp.

Also my face can flush red and burn but I can be cold

Yep that's me. I keep fresh knickers and a clean top on my bedside table and I get changed in the dark, half asleep. I'm sick of it TBH

It happened to me a lot when I was still having periods fairly often .. it was my first symptom- I’ve just gone 200 days between (gutted it’s back) and hardly ever get the body drenching night sweats these days .. from what I’ve read that seems to be quite common 🤞

Yes I get it. Sometimes by mid morning I need to change my top as sweat is running down my back (no exercise) but I don’t feel hot. At night I sometimes get up and change my nightie as it’s ‘damp’ Often when I lift it in the morning to put it in the wash i realise it was actually near soaking wet! And I’m on HRT.

This is interesting because a few colleagues are peri or menopausal and get extremely hot with the sweats. I have never sweated much even during exercise so to have visible beads of sweat over my chest, back of neck, back, thighs is very new.
My other main symptom is breast fullness, hard fibrous and tenderness for weeks on end, not linked to cycle. These have shortened.
Not on hrt and only assuming these signs I've had for a year (I am 41) are peri menopause.
