A member asked:

Should i see my pcp for sweating during sleep (not as severe as night sweats, just bothersome)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: Sweating during sleep can be caused by a variety of underlying things, such as menopause, diabetes, thyroid issues, and various types of infections - so yes, you should see your doctor and make sure that you don't have an underlying cause.
