Title: Night sweats?
Post by: Helen Lilley on March 30, 2016, 10:48:37 PM

Hello there.  I don't very often post on here, but I have a question you may be able to answer.

Although they're not actually waking me up, I am increasingly finding when I wake up in the morning that I'm very warm.  Could this be night sweats?  Or would I be more likely to wake up actually sweating? 

Apologies if it seems a silly question.

Hope you've all had a lovely Easter weekend.

H 😊

No question is silly here Purple H.
 
It does sound like you are experiencing a mild night sweat. It doesn't sound severe enough to be a hot flush though.

I have had them where I wake up wet through, usually between my boobs for some reason (& they aren't that big)  ;D.

Don't worry about it too much, it's all part of the menopause.

I think you are having a hot flush rather than a night sweat. Night sweats tend to drench you and wake you up feeling like you've wet the bed! A horrible feeling. All normal for menopause though.

That's what I meant to say Taz - I got it round the wrong way as usual (well it was late when I wrote it)  ::).
