What Causes Profuse Sweating, Chills And Lethargy?
For the past 4 months I have been experiencing profuse sweating chills, confusion, lethargy, and total loss of appetite, severe weight loss & I can sleep around the clock. I was hospitalized for a week about a month ago & seen an internist, a neurologist, pulmonolgist and they could not find out what was wrong. I had cat scans,blood work, bolld cultures, still no one canfind out what wrong and I can not return to work.

Hi,
If all your blood work and imaging tests are normal, then these symptoms look like due to depression and / or anxiety. In my opinion you need to take some anxiolytic and/or anti-depressive under guidance of some psychiatrist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
