Good morning... i am a 51-year-old male in good shape and have been suffering from rancid, sour night sweats recently. don't have too many blankets...?

See a doctor: This could be any one of several things, none of them overly difficult to evaluate, but potentially severe. A good primary care physician is the place to start, or if you prefer and an infectious diseases doctor available, see them.
