I am over 70 years of age, on three pharmaceuticals; my blood pressure, heart and thyroid (removal of thyroid/now suffer hypothyoidism). Nifedipine 30mg, carvedilol 25mg, Synthroid 112mcg in that order. Plus vitamin supplements (CQ10, Serrapeptase, Policosanol , Vitamin E, D3, ,etc and I weigh 199 lbs. at 5'6”. I have an irregular heartbeat sometimes but otherwise I'm in great shape. Right now, I am having reoccurring excessive night sweating while sleeping. This has been going on for the past week. I wake up during the night and my bed clothing is drenched in sweat, making it necessary to change clothing before I can go back to sleep. I have suffered with this condition before but it only lasted a day or two but I had a cold. I have not been exercising and I am staying in the house. I am trying to keep my blood vessels open heart in good condition. I know I need to lose fifty to sixty pounds But this sweating is getting to be a bit much. Looking for advice. Thank you.

hi Jane,

When not hormonally related, I've read that the body sweats at night to get rid of toxins. Try exercising a few times per week to a really good sweat, then you may not sweat at night. Rebounding to improve lymph node circulation might be helpful. Also, you didn't mention magnesium or potassium in your list of supps. Your meds may have caused a depletion in one or both, so try supplementing those. Please keep us updated!

It sounds like you might be in Hyper, you should test your thyroid and adjust the dosages!

I have this problem. I will awaken several times a night just soaked in sweat. I am also 70. It has helped greatly to cut back on carbs during the day and absolutely no sweets, whether it be an apple or chocolate, that helps a bit..

Abdel, Thank you. I thought about my thyroid levels and my last test, I was told every thing was normal at 0.634. Waiting to talk to Dr..

Cut out wheat, fake dairy and added sugar! Sweating is usually a result of a deep seated infection. Sit and think what that might be. Kidneys, ( uti ? ) liver? Drink lots of water, preferably fully filtered ( no fluoride). If you ever had fluoride based antibiotics, then supplement with vitamin k2 and boron and start a course of Liposomal Vitamin C every two hours increasing the dose as you go! If you get headache, nausea ( herxheimer ) just back off the vitamin cdose a little! Now I am NOT treating as we simply have not enough information. An informed guess for you to consider! That thyroid though .... just stay away from mainstream? If you wish, find us on fb ... curezone group.

Side effects from the very first drug I looked up nifedipine Although this medication is effective in preventing chest pain (angina), some people who already have severe heart disease may rarely develop worsening chest pain or a heart attack after starting this medication or increasing the dose. Get medical help right away if you experience: worsening chest pain, symptoms of a heart attack (such as chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating).

My night sweats stopped when I started taking 400 mg of magnesium every evening. I'm a male with chronic fatigue syndrome. Night sweats are a symptom of CFS. Magnesium also helps me sleep great. Also it's good for irregular heart beats. Get magnesium in 100 mg capsules, to start with, because too much causes loose stools. You have to figure out how much you can take.
