Hi everyone
Last year I dealt with some pretty severe health anxiety and am currently having therapy which is going well.
I am doing my very best to stay away from google for any new symptoms, and overall, I’m not getting myself into that OMG I am dying frenzy anymore.
However something has happened which has bothered me and I wondered if anyone else could share similar situations, as I’m not sure if it’s normal or if this requires a chat with the dr. (Which I reallllu don’t want to do, as I feel this will hinder my recovery from HA)!!
Last night at around 1:30am I woke up with ‘night sweats’ my back was very sweaty and the back of my neck and my legs. The bed sheets near my pillow were wet (not puddles but a bit uncomfortable to lay back down on, not enough that I HAD to change them then and there though) I was absolutely boiling when I woke up and my partner said he felt clammy and was a little hot too.
Obviously even without googling I’m aware that night sweats are a symptom of certain cancers. At what point does it become worrying?
Also I have had this happen before during last summer but not enough to cause dampness to my bed sheets, this was by far the worst one.
Probably also worth noting when this has happened before it is on the week leading up to my period. Last night was during a period so I’m wondering if that could suggest it is hormonal. I had a hormone panel last summer and their was no suggestion of any hormonal issues, dr said they were all normal levels. I am 27 y/o, could my normal hormones be doing this?
Any replies would be appreciated
Thanks x
