A member asked:

Why might someone get hot and sweaty with swollen hands and feet if they sleep without a fan?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not abnormal: do you sleep with a clenched fist? Are you running a fever? Are your hands and feet always sweaty? If the answer to the last question is yes, you might have a condition known as hyperhidrosis. See a dermatologist if this continues.
