Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My bf sweats every night soaking the sheets no matter the temperature and only from the waist down. Sheets always smell like vinegar. Also has lost weight within last year. He refuses to think this is not normal. I think something is not right with that. Thoughts??

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Hyperthyroidism , hypertension, inflammatory disease in the body or anemia can be a reason for this. So you can go for a complete blood count, ESR , thyroid profile and check your blood pressure to rule out that. TSH will be below normal in case of hyperthyroidism. Correcting such problems will normalize your husband's problem. You can buy for him some good deodorants and antiperspirants which will be also helpful. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
