What Causes Heavy Sweating Around The Neck And Shoulder Every Night?

After going to bed about 11PM I awake at 3:30 AM every day with heavy sweating around neck and shoulder area . I wear a neckerchief and a long sleeve shirt. Changing clothes at that time keeps me dry for a while and the sweating is less upon wakening. I am on oxygen at night.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, I am not clear from your question if you are sweating because you are heaving clothing and a neckerchief or vice versa. Assuming the former, then you might be experiencing what are called night sweats. There are many causes for night sweats, and I would need a little more information to assist you. Have you recently lost weight unintentionally? Why are you on home oxygen?

Please report back and I would be happy to provide further counseling.
