sleep apnea and sweating at night

Post by sierragail » Sun Nov 29, 2009 8:42 pm

Did anyone have it explained to them why sleep apnea can make a person sweat like crazy at night? Before treatment I was soaking the sheets with my night sweats. I could even smell the salt in the sheets. Why does it cause night sweats?

Go up to the Search line and type in "sweats" and you'll have lots of reading material.
