I always sweat when I sleep in winter. What happened?

You belong to night sweats. Night sweats is a syndrome name of traditional Chinese medicine, which is characterized by abnormal sweating after falling asleep and stopping sweating after waking up. "Stealing" means stealing. Ancient doctors used thieves to sneak around every night to describe this disease, that is, whenever people fell asleep, or just closed their eyes and fell asleep, sweat leaked out like thieves.

According to the clinical manifestations of night sweats, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe.

Mild night sweats Most patients with mild night sweats are prone to sweat when they wake up at 5 am or 1 ~ 2 hours, and sweat less. Only when I wake up, I feel a little sweaty all over my body or some part of my body, and I won't sweat again after I wake up. It is generally not accompanied by uncomfortable feelings.

Medium-sized night sweats Most patients with medium-sized night sweats can release sweat soon after falling asleep, and even make their pajamas wet. When they wake up, they will stop sweating, wipe off the sweat, and then stop sweating when they fall asleep. In this type of night sweats, patients often feel fever and sweating, and sometimes feel dry mouth and throat after waking up.

Patients with severe night sweats are prone to sweating. Shortly after falling asleep or just when you close your eyes and are about to fall asleep, a lot of sweat will gush out at night, and you can wake up after sweating, and the sweat can converge instantly after waking up. You can still sweat when you are asleep. Sweating is large, and sweat often has a slight salty taste, or it is mixed with sweat and odor at the same time. Sweat can even wet the bedding, and you can't sleep well unless you change your pajamas several times a night. Some severe patients can make the bedding wet, the bedding thin or when using a mat, sweat can print sweat marks on the bed board. This kind of patients are often accompanied by obvious baking feeling, and their emotions are also irritable. They are thirsty after sweating and like cold water. Usually it can be accompanied by low fever or hot flashes, five-upset fever, red cheekbones, dizziness, emaciation, fatigue, dark urine, less urine and dry stool.

Mild and moderate night sweats will not cause much harm to the body, but patients with severe night sweats will often aggravate their illness for a long time and develop into "symptoms", which seriously threaten their health and life safety.
