Is there anything you can do for night sweats?
- Q: Is there anything you can do for night sweats?
- A: Sometimes night sweats can be caused by a medical disorder, certain medications, or by something as straightforward as too many blankets on your bed. Eating or drinking certain foods or beverages that contain caffeine (including chocolate), alcohol, dense and fatty foods and spicy foods will also contribute to night sweat symptoms. The first recommendations are: make your bedroom a comfortable temperature for sleeping; remove extra blankets from your bed at night; and avoid the aforementioned foods/drinks before bed. If you have already tried these strategies and the night sweats continue to be bothersome and have been going on for a long time, then it may be time to see a doctor to figure out the cause. The solution to the night sweats will depend on the root cause.
