Night Sweat causes -  Excessive Sweating at night is serious?

Night sweats may happen because the sleep environment is too warm. At this case night sweats are normal. But if, environmental temperature is optimal and person still sweats so much, that night clothes and bedding are soaking wet, it can indicate pathological condition.
Night sweats is a nonspecific symptom and can be associated with Variety of diseases include:
malignancies,
Infections, tuberculosis,
menopause symptoms (“hot flushes”),
anxiety,
medicines – some antidepressants, steroids and painkillers
low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), including diabetes.
alcohol or drug use.
Sometimes we can not define underlying cause called hyperhidrosis that makes you sweat too much all the time.
Although many life-threatening causes such as malignancies or infections have been described, as underlying cause of night sweats, but most patients who report persistent night sweats in the primary care setting do not have a serious underlying disorder.
When the history and physical examination do not reveal a specific cause, physicians should proceed with a systematic and cost-conscious strategy, that uses readily available laboratory and imaging studies, such as a complete blood count, tuberculosis testing, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, HIV testing, C-reactive protein level, and chest radiography.
The most common Conditions commonly associated with night sweats include menopause, mood disorders, gastroesophageal reflux disease, hyperthyroidism, and obesity.
Night sweats in women over 40 is the hormonal changes, related to menopause and perimenopause.
Perimenopause is a natural stage of life. It is not a disease or a disorder. Therefore, it does not automatically require any kind of medical treatment. but night sweats and hot flashes during this period can be managed hormone replacement therapy, or mindfulness and cognitive behavioral Therapy.
Anxiety. at this case, night sweats can be accompanied with Feeling nervous, restless or tense
Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom, having an increased heart rate, Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation).
The presence of night sweats alone does not indicate an increased risk of death.
But when night sweats can also be related to serious illnesses like: cancers, Lymphoma,
Leukemia, Infections, HIV, AIDS, Tuberculosis, Diabetes mellitus (nocturnal hypoglycemia),
Endocrine tumors (pheochromocytoma, carcinoid) and other conditions. Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis can also cause night sweats.
Hyperhidrosis
It is relatively rare condition, in which body produces excessive sweat for unknown reasons. Common places to sweat can include underarms, face, neck, back, groin, feet, and hands.
Sometimes medications can cause hyperhidrosis, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis.
Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors is a common cause of medication-induced secondary hyperhidrosis. Other medications associated with secondary hyperhidrosis include tricyclic antidepressants, stimulants, opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Management:
Topical agents for hyperhidrosis therapy include formaldehyde lotion and topical anticholinergic medication.
Aluminium chlorohydrate is used in regular antiperspirants. However, hyperhidrosis requires solutions or gels with a much higher concentration.
Food and Drug Administration approved a glycopyrronium bromide-containing disposable cloth (brand name Qbrexza) for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

What causes an infant to sweat on left side while breastfeeding? – Dr. Varsha Saxena

Lifestyle No Comments »

It is common for a baby to sweat while it is breast feeding. This is because the baby skin come in contact with the mother’s skin and the skin to skin contact can produce the sweat in the baby. If you are feeding the baby on the left side there can be chances of sweating more on the left side of the baby. Usually it can be on either side of the baby’s body. Another thing is the baby requires a lot of effort and energy while sucking. This also produces heat and sweat in the baby. The baby’s head has got lot of active sweat glands and so the sweating may be on the head and head also has a larger surface area than the body and generates more heat. But we should watch for any danger signs in the feeding baby like there are any bluish signs in the lips or finger nails of the baby. The baby gets very tired during the feeding, the baby has any choking spells or the baby gets apnea or there is poor weigh gain of the baby, such situations a paediatrician should be consulted and take an opinion.

It’s very normal for babies to sweat while they sleep; it’s actually one of the things that happens when babies achieve the deepest parts of sleep. Their breathing slows down, their muscles relax, and sometimes they sweat even until they dampen their clothes. It’s always a good idea though to make sure that this isn’t being caused by the room being overheated or by the baby being overheated by the number of layers of clothes and blankets that are on your baby. Ideally your baby’s room should be kept at 65-68 degrees and if your baby is just sweating a little bit at night then that could be normal. But if your baby is sweating a lot during the day other times when he’s not sleeping, this would be a reason to have him checked out by the doctor. If you have any other questions for me feel free to ask them our Facebook page and recommend us to your friends and family too.

Psoriasis is a very common inflammatory skin condition affecting about 3% of the world population. It is a CHRONIC disease that evolves in the form of RECURRENT inflammatory flare-ups followed by periods of partial or complete remission. Psoriasis can begin at any age but often develops in young adulthood. The disease may LOOK contagious, but it is NOT.
The most common type, known as PLAQUE psoriasis, is characterized by the presence of red, raised, itchy and SCALY patches of skin. The plaques usually appear on the scalp, in front of the knees and behind the elbows.
Less common types include:
– Guttate psoriasis: lesions occur in the form of SMALL numerous spots over a large area of the body. This type primarily affects children and young adults.
– Inverse psoriasis: SMOOTH patches of inflamed skin that worsen with friction and sweating. These are usually found in between skin FOLDS.
– Pustular psoriasis: an uncommon form with pus-filled, NON-infectious blisters.
– Erythrodermic: a rare but SEVERE, potentially life-threatening form, with WIDEspread lesions all over the body.
Psoriasis has a strong GENETIC component, with multiple genes linked to the SUSCEPTIBILITY to the disease. Most of the identified genes are involved in the immune system, notably inflammatory pathways. In some families, psoriasis is an autosomal DOMINANT trait. Flare-ups can be trigged by a variety of factors, including infections, traumatic injuries, stress, smoking, alcohol use and certain medications. The FIRST lesion usually appears after an upper respiratory tract infection. The exact mechanism is not fully understood but likely to involve an OVERreaction of the body’s inflammatory response. Inflammation DILATES blood vessels, releasing chemicals, resulting in redness and itchiness. Large numbers of activated T-cells infiltrate the epidermis and INDUCE proliferation of skin cells. The cells divide and move up QUICKLY, in the matter of DAYS instead of weeks. This causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin and form SCALY patches.
Common complications include eye diseases, known as OCULAR psoriasis; and chronic joint inflammation in the fingers and toes, known as psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis also associates with higher risks of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, low self-esteem and depression.
Most people with MILD to moderate psoriasis can be treated effectively with TOPICAL agents. These creams and ointments have several effects: anti-inflammatory, slowing down skin cell growth, and reducing scaling and itching.
Severe psoriasis may benefit from additional treatment such as phototherapy – the use of natural or artificial UV light to SLOW skin cell proliferation and REDUCE inflammation. The exposure time should be controlled to avoid UNwanted skin damage and cancers.
SYSTEMIC treatment is considered when other methods fail. This type of treatment involves ORAL administration or INJECTION of drugs that REDUCE cell growth or SUPPRESS the immune system.
