What Causes Excessive Night Sweating?

Hi I m just wondering why my legs sweat so heavily at night? I sweat heavily around both my shins and inner thighs! Having to wake up 2-3 times a night because of soaked sheets and blankets! I know from my research if I don t have a smoke of marijuana that night my legs will sweat! What s up with sweaty, wet shins at night while sleeping?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Common cause of night sweating are menopause in women. If you are women of menopausal age then it could be a cause.

Other causes are infection like tuberculosis, cancer like lymphoma, anti depressant drugs, hypoglycemia, idiopathic hyperhidrosis and hormonal imbalance.

Please tell me other symptoms so that we can search the cause.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
