Can night sweats be dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not dangerous but fi: Night sweats can be due to fever coming on at night. So get your doctor to examine you and make sure that you do not have some degree of fever, especially at night. If you otherwise feel well, then they may simply be from some benign cause like hot flashes or excess of heat around you house.
