Im wondering if this is something I should be worried about or is it a hint that my metabolism is changing?

It didnt start until about the 3rd week of exercise and eating habit change. I wake up drenched in sweat, otherwise I feel great, better than ever.

    Maybe your hormones are out of whack?

    I get night sweats, but I'm peri-menapausal (Im 49).

    I'm only 28 and I get some pretty heavy night sweats too. I have no idea why. Drink plenty of water. I'm interested in hearing any ideas about this topic too

    It happens to me too. But mostly if I sense something that I translate into danger. It happens when I am stressed out. Could it be stress?

    Chemicals found in everyday products such as non-stick pans, clothing, furniture, carpets and paints have been associated with the early onset of menopause, according to a new study from the West Virginia University School of Medicine.

    I wanted to have another child, but - early menopause age 40.

    I have heard that burning fat releases estrogen which is stored in the fat. In that case, it would be a good thing. I'm no medical professional, though.

    Ok, sorry if this is not useful but I used to have these too. I did two things, removed the mattress protector (which was not breatheable) and got warmer pjs! I know if does not make sense, but I know that the less clothes I wear at night the more I sweat.

    Other than that, I think it is worth seeing your doctor and make sure that everything is in order ;-)

    Very interesting. :x

    OP..Night sweats are very common. One sleep study I just read showed 46% of participants suffered from night sweats. While seemingly harmless it can be an indication of a very serious medical condition. Please do not take advice online. (Especially the
    advice above.) Go see your doc!

    I'm 35 and have had this problem for a while. At my last annual visit I asked my doctor about it - thinking I was just "part of life" as I was getting older. I couldn't ask any of the older women in my family since everyone had had hysterectomies by the time they were in their early 30s.

    My doc at first thought it could be my body trying to regulate at night from the workouts.. however I'd been running for about 5 years at that point. While I was increasing my training for my first 1/2 marathon, she didn't think the workouts were the issue because it's been happening since before I kicked up the distance.

    She then said I should focus more on getting more soy into my diet, that sometimes soy can help. I've heard from others if you have thyroid issue not to suggest soy... so just throwing that out there.

    It's reduced the problem for the most part. I'm not forced to change the sheets or PJs any more. Hope it helps.

    Definitely talk to your doc.

    I get them in the chest area when I've eaten too much of (or too often) foods my body takes longer to process like cheese, chocolate and alcohol.

    I just went to Doctor and mentioned this. I thought it might be hormones he said no. He told me to get my thyroid checked out????
