Night Sweats
Night sweats can be brought on by many reasons—nightmares, lowering of blood sugar, hyperthyroidism and the most commonly know menopause. However, what many are not acutely aware of is that when waking up in soaking wet sheets, there could be another, even more, severe issue at work—that of a possible early warning sign of cancer. If night sweats occur frequently, and in conjunction with any other known cancer symptoms, then it is highly advised that you notify your doctor. Do not take it for granted that the night sweats, in the case of women, are hormonally related due to menopause. Although night sweats are present during this life-changing period, it is best to get a medical opinion just in case.
