I am 18 yrs old and all of a sudden I’ve been sweating in my sleep? Like every single time I go to sleep does anyone else have this problem?

Members connected over the frustrating experience of night sweats, with many sharing that profuse sweating during sleep is a common symptom of fibromyalgia, though some also attributed it to perimenopause or menopause. Several members described practical strategies that have helped them cope, including sleeping with towels on the bed, using cooling pillows and weightless blankets, running ceiling fans year-round, keeping fresh pajamas nearby, and taking antacids like Rennies before bed to address acid reflux that may trigger sweating. A recurring theme was the emotional and physical toll of waking up drenched and cold, the embarrassment of sweat-stained clothing, and the comfort of knowing others in the community understand and share similar struggles.

Unfortunately it is a symptom of Fibromyalgia I sweat in bed every night my bed T-shirts are drenched at times.

Also sweat during the day as well Winter and Summer, frustrating especially if I want to wear makeup. My body temperature is out of control.

Other than using fans and I use Towels on Top of the sheets and sleep on them. What is worse for me is my sweat is a brown colour because I have to take iron tablets because I have iron deficiency anaemia.

The brown stains my clothes and no stain remover will remove them.

Fibromyalgia has over 251 symptoms most people have at least 60 to 80

I’ve been having night sweats for a long time now and every night. I’m 67 and single and I dread the thought of meeting a special man and sleeping with him. I’m going to look for the weightless blankets I just read about. Hugs and good luck

Yep I do, all night. I find or should say I do sleep with a body pillow between my legs to keep them apart, it reduces the sweating. I can only sleep on my right/left side so I also need to keep my arms away from my torso due to the length of the body pillow between my legs it comes up my torso, one arm goes under my head pillow & the other is kept off my torso by the body pillow. I have a large ceiling fan, on all night summer & winter, what fun we all have....
take care everyone

Rennie are a Peppermint tablet contains two naturally-occurring antacids called calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate which neutralise excess stomach acid by turning it into water & other natural substances.

Help with heartburn.
