Night Sweats? : Given your age this question is more urgent for me. I, when i hear of this symptom, worry about a number of things. First i would want to know more about your history and any other symptoms such as fatigue, pain, changes in your daily activities. I worry about infection, a viral illness, pregnancy, and numerous other problems. If this persists please choose someone to help you explore this.
