Hi Dr. I have been suffering of intense horrible night sweats anytime I sleep, day or night, every time without exception and has gotten worse lately, waking up at night 3 to 4 times sometimes, to dry my body with towels, for the past 7 months or so, I also notice weird headaches, as of I am hangover, feeling worse depending how I move my head, a few times before I got the headache it would start with kind of a blurred vision, or cloudy vision, usually in only one of my eyes. I went to a GP and Gynecologist 2 months ago and got hormone blood tests and I got regular annual check up blood tests done but all came back normal. What should I do?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It will help to know your age and gynecological history in the past. It is known that even with normal test reports, some people might have symptoms like anxiety, night sweats and headaches. Furthermore, it can even be that you are normal and having a slight mental stress related anxiety and that is causing a perception of night sweats. This might also be confused with flushing in some people. It will help to get a slightly more detailed medical examination keeping your symptoms in mind. The Chat Doctor.  This might need imaging investigations and specific hormone levels in blood. Treatment is based on the cause and persons with unexplained night sweats should seek medical care.
