What Causes Excessive Sweating Around Neck At Night?

I have been waking up the past couple of nights with sweating around my neck. Doesn t seem to happen anywhere else. I purposefully left all the windows open on a cold night to see if that would help. Tonight it happened only about 1.5 hours after I fell asleep. What could this be a result of? Is there reason for concern?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have excessive sweating ( Hyperhidrosis ) around neck at night. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like diabetic hypoglycemia , endocarditis , fever , generalized anxiety disorder , heart attack , heat exhaustion or stress. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner. Doctor may order certain test like sweat test , take history like areas of sweating and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe antiperspirants , Iontophoresis and botulinum toxin injections . For now take proper diet like fresh fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
