Does Anyone Experience Excessive Sweating With Lupus?

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

Im not even close to hot, if anything my room runs cold and i still have sweat running down my arms and stomach. I have no idea why. I also experience a lot of things like racing heartbeat, dizziness, fatigue, blurry vision, tremors. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anything i can do to stop being so dizzy and sweating?

I sweat day and night, especially in the summer. Talk to your doctor. I have been told it could be due to my weight, my hypothyroidism or the menopause!! Praying for you.

I have “night sweats” (whenever I sleep) and will wake up soaked. I keep my room cold for that reason. It’s almost always coupled with extremely vivid dreams. I’ve contributed it to low-grade fevers. My doctors chalk it up to the lupus.

It may be a side effect of your medications. That has happened to me a and I went over every med that I take and sure enough it was side effects. I discussed it with my Dr. and now I space my meds out differently.

I have the exact same problems as you. I have Lupus, Hashimoto's and ITP. I have no idea what is causing these symptoms but its pretty unbearable and the flushing all day long is definitely something I can do without.

Yes I sweat all night from head to toe. My pillow case is soaking wet. I hate it.
