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.
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.
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.
