what causes flushing and sweating
Night sweats are a common symptom that can be related to many different causes. The menopausal transition in women is a common cause of night sweats. Less common causes of night sweats include infections and cancers. Hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms of approaching menopause can precede menopause by many years. Treatment of night sweats is directed at the underlying cause. Certain medications, hormone disorders, neurologic problems, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) are other possible causes of night sweats.
