Please see your Dr.: There are many different causes of night sweats, including hormones, medications, infections, thyroid problems, inflammation in the body, even some cancers and many others. The list is long. Many times, night sweats are not a symptom of something terribly wrong, but new onset night sweats definitely need to be checked out. Please see your doctor for a complete evaluation.
