A member asked:

Severe night sweats even if down to bottom layers, outside of covers. worse during nightmares. when heating is off still night sweat. what causes it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: Hi. That's very abnormal. Any other symptoms such as unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, etc? Things to consider include lymphomas, tuberculosis, hyperthyroidism, others. See a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnostic tests. Good luck!
