Snoring??: Obstructive sleep apnea has some classic symptoms which would include snoring, sweats during sleep, anxiety with frequent night awakenings (often people feel like they're choking or can't breathe), restless sleep, and daytime somnolence. One doesn't have to be obese to have osa. Especially if you snore, osa may be a worthwhile consideration.  Please discuss with your doctor.

Question 2

why do i sweat when i sleep?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day and can contribute to this, as can dream content, and simplest is room temperature vs your temperature. The body maintains its normal range (homeostasis) continuously, and if too many blankets or too hot a room, your body will sweat to cool itself. It could also be an indicator of fever and infection--so if applicable, see your dr.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Unusual: That's unusual I've never heard of someone who sweating is positional. If you're having fever this could be a sign of infection. If you're having diarrhea this could be something of a carcinoid tumor. This could also be due to anxiety !Visit your primary care physician for specific diagnosis and treatment

Question 4

why do i sweat when i'm nervous?

Accepted Answer

Sweatgland/adrenalin: The sweat glands are controlled by your autonomic vervous system in which high adrenaline state causes you to sweat..Emotionally induced sweating typically involves palms/soles/axilla areas. Your sweat glands maybe a bit sensitive to Adrenalin than usual, thus when anixous (adrenaline released/increased) you sweat more...If excessive, consult doc for treatment. Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Homeostasis: We are constantly losing small amounts of water through perspiration - this is part of homeostasis. Some sweat more at rest than others.  If you are sweating excessively, it could be you have an illness or if you are very overweight or obese, sweating would be common due to the extra burden of the increased weight. If it is extreme, visit your md to have them determine the cause.

Question 10

why do i sweat from my butt a lot this has never happen before it seems to give a really bad odor please help!

Accepted Answer

Hormones: And humidity. I see you are from la. Make sure you use a deodorizing soap on your buttocks, but avoid the strong soap around the rectum or it can get itchy. Wear cotton absorbant underwear as that will help. If push comes to shove you can try using cornstarch on your butt to absorb the sweat too.
