What are Hot Sweats?
Hot sweats, also known as night sweats, are sudden episodes of excessive sweating, usually occurring at night and sometimes accompanied by a feeling of overheating. Common causes include anxiety, hormonal changes, or withdrawal from substances like alcohol or opioids. Hot sweats can disrupt sleep and cause discomfort, particularly during the early stages of recovery.
Managing hot sweats may involve lifestyle adjustments, medication, and addressing any underlying medical or psychological conditions contributing to the symptom.
