What Causes Severe Night Sweats While Having Flu?
Hi, I have come down with flu over the last 5 nights, I have also been having night sweats the last few nights. I took my blood pressure which is 120/84, but my normal heart rate is 68bpm and I noticed it is 98 bpm at the moment, is there reason for concern? What would you suggest that I do?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the viral infections that can lead to a fever.
The fever can also lead to night sweats. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen. The symptoms will go away in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
