How do night sweats start?

[lb76696]

I have a lot of swollen lymph nodes in my neck, around 10-15 I think. Since finding these I've been terrified that night sweats are going to develop. this morning I woke up and saw that the t-shirt I wore to bed had left me with bobbles on my skin like I had sweated and it stuck. Now I'm worried I was slightly clammy. Do night sweats gradually begin, as in you are clammy for a few nights and they lead up to the drenching ones? Or do they just start as drenching?

It's normal to sweat here and there when you sleep. It's more common for people with anxiety to sweat. Your body temp changes throughout the night.

I don't really know how they begin, but from what I do know they are drenching/change the sheets bad. And even then, I have had some like that and I was fine. Can be due to being under the weather or medications you might be on. I also have lots of nodes in my neck I can feel.
