What Causes Night Sweats At An Elderly Age?
I am 80 yrs old and just started having night sweats. My sister who just passed away at 94 yrs., had night sweats from early age, which continued through her life. I used to say to her OMG is that what I have to look forward to. I just read some of the medical causes of night sweats. I don t know where one would start to figure out the cause. Can you help?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, only the symptom of night sweat may not be the cause of death but the underlying disease would be matter of concern, and in your case too complete medical clinical examination may be necessary, else simple night may not be the cause of disease neither this could be clinical symptoms hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
