Hi,
The night sweating are associated with different types of diseases such:
- Infection (HIV, tuberculosis)
- Blood disorders (Hodgkin)
- Menopause
- Thyroid disorders, etc.
I think you can do a blood count and formula and also platelets count since you have bruising. Also test thyroid hormone levels, thyroid disorders give hair loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
