What to do if you sweat a lot in a dream

Increased sweating is quite often the first signal that serious changes are beginning in the body, and often not for the better. Many dangerous diseases begin with sweating at night. In this article, you will find out what happens to the body when you sweat a lot in a dream, why a person has increased sweating. After all, as you know, nothing happens just like that. Let's understand the causes of sweating.

Perhaps the most common reason that a person sweats at night when he sleeps is a cold and other viral and infectious diseases. Any infection comes out with sweat, as they say in the people, so there is nothing supernatural in the fact that you sweat while sleeping with a cold or flu. This is the body's natural response to an internal threat. However, there are a number of more dangerous diseases that also cause sweating.

• Abscesses are a bacterial disease that manifests itself in the appearance of purulent inflammation on the body.
• Infection with dangerous viruses. such as HIV.
• Osteomyelitis is inflammation of the bone marrow caused by infections.
• Endocarditis is an inflammation of one part of the heart caused by the symptoms of another disease or bacteria.
• Tuberculosis.

Important! If you feel a general malaise and at the same time sweat a lot, then this is an occasion to consult a doctor.

household reasons

In addition to purely medical reasons, there are a number of ordinary, household ones that play an important role in a person's sweating at night.

• The room is too poorly ventilated and the room is too stuffy. A banal lack of fresh air and oxygen can also cause severe sweating due to stuffiness. Therefore, before going to bed, the room must be well ventilated. In summer, it is generally recommended to sleep with the windows open. If there are electronic devices in the room, such as computers, TVs and other things, then the window should be opened for an hour or two.
• A warm blanket. In winter, we all take warm, woolen blankets out of the closets to keep warm and not freeze. However, if during warmer times you sweat profusely because of them, then you should change the blanket to a lighter and cooler one. If the problem persists, keep looking.
• Cloth. Massive and warm pajamas for winter are also unlikely to be practical in summer, so you can also sweat because of the abundance of clothes on your body. Cotton pajamas are the best option for any weather, and if you are cold, you can buy cotton pajamas with long pants.
• Nutrition. Heavy sweating at night can also be the result of improper and harmful nutrition. Pay attention to your diet and exclude from it hot spices, carrots, chocolate of any kind, coffee, garlic and soda.

If none of these reasons suits you, then, most likely, the matter is in the internal state of the body.

Causes of sweating in women

Men and women are different from each other, not only externally, but also internally. Therefore, each sex has its own, individual causes and reactions to various external stimuli.

One of the most common female diseases is hyperthyroidism. It manifests itself in the disease of the thyroid gland, where there is a synthesis of two hormones - thyroxine and triiodothyronine. In addition to the fact that a woman’s neck, chest, back, legs and arms sweat in her sleep, this syndrome also causes trembling in the hands, weight loss, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, which constantly heaves the chest. Sometimes your head may hurt.

In order to accurately diagnose this disease, you need to take tests for hormones. According to statistics, this syndrome is more common in women than in men, but there are cases when the stronger sex also suffers from this disease.

During menopause, as well as during menopause, hot flashes often occur, which mainly cause sweating during this period. It should also be noted that hot flashes can appear even several years before the onset of menopause itself. By the way, with menopause, women often suffer from insomnia. We wrote about it.

Causes of sweating in men

A decrease in testosterone in the body in men is called andropause. Usually this process occurs closer to sixty years. In addition to age, it is believed that stress, difficult living conditions and many diseases can greatly affect the course and occurrence of this process. But, one way or another, the symptoms of andropause, along with increased blood pressure, muscle weakness and disorders in sexual and urinary functions, are also excessive sweating.

However, this should not be taken lightly. Sweating in men can be the result of other serious diseases.

Other Medical Causes of Sweating

In addition to the above reasons, there are still a fairly large number of diseases, a symptom of which may be sweating.

When an adult sleeps poorly and sweats at night, this, among other things, may mean the development of cancer. In this case, a hail of sweat (cold sweat) pours from the patient, while there is an increased body temperature, fever, and rapid weight loss occurs. With these symptoms, in no case do not postpone a visit to the oncologist.

But don't be scared. Just check. You can't let everything go by itself. You need to deal with the symptoms of heavy sweating immediately without winding yourself up, as women often do. Men do not react so sharply, but you should not postpone visiting the clinic.
