Hi, i do care for your concern.
The night sweating or excessive sweating which is of recent origin is a matter of concern.
it is seen in cardiac condition or and chronic infection.
I would advise
1) To have full cardiac work up done, to rule out any cause if present.
2) To rule out any granulomatous disease such as tuberculosis.
3) If nothing present, anti-prespirant medicine would help a lot.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
