A member asked:
What is classified as "night sweats" that are related to serious conditions? mild sweating, or like full out wet bedsheets and clothes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Night sweats: Usually the latter, i.e. heavy enough sweating to soak night clothes or bedding. Or just take your temperature: night sweats are evidence of fever, with boty temperature dropping during the night. If body tempurature during the day or evening is normal, probably you are not having true night sweats.
