Re: MAC and night sweats

[Guest guest]

Sometimes I sweat at night when I think my lungs are clear.

I just double up on the TTO for a day or two and that usually

fixes it.

Go figure!

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

MAC can cause night sweats, and sweats during the day.

Our regular lung infections such as staph can also

cause the “sweats.” Year round, I keep a fan in my

room. Often it provides relief night or day. Using the

fan, drinking cold water, excluding caffeinated

beverages, and putting a cold cloth around my neck

have been helpful.

It is important that other causes be excluded. Thyroid

can cause a long list of symptoms. It is good that

your doctor is being thorough. In woman,I think that

our hormonal changes such as our monthly periods and

menopause can be linked to flushing and sweats.

Hormonal changes have been medically linked to asthma

attacks. My asthmna is affected, although my current

GP has never heard of hormonal asthma. A study was

done by National Jewish Hospital in Denver, concluded

that monthly cycles can cause asthma attacks, as can

pregnancy changes, and menopause.

I hope you find some relief soon.

thanks, ,

does the sweating from lung infections cause your face to feel very hot too? My face flushes and feels hot - I've taken my temperature when this is going on but my temp is never elevated.

Hi Lee,

In my case, its not relate to menopause, because I am

too young and not due to nervousness. Night sweats and

flushing may be one way our body is responding as it

fights bacteria and inflammation cycles. A father of a

CF child told me that his daughter’s specialist told

him flushing, red cheeks happens, as bronch.

progresses. I have not heard of other doctors or

parents/patients mention anything about disease

related red cheeks, in relation to progression of lung

disease.

Hi , Thanks for that. I just assumed thats what it was with me. Might have to get it looked into. Interesting to see if our docs here can come up with a reason.

Advair has a steroid in it.

[Guest guest]

To all who are having night sweats and

facial flushing/redness:

I had this problem in my 30’s way

before I ever had bronchiectasis. I went to my GP and he ordered a glucose

tolerance test for me. It turned out that I was hypoglycemic and when my blood

sugar would drop out that’s when I would get hot and flushed.

Another cause could be that the steroids

that almost everyone w/bronch. seem to be using can really mess up the hormone-producing

glands (thyroid, pancreas, reproductive glands, etc). In my mid-30’s I

had back surgery and prior to the surgery I was on oral steroids for quite a

while. When I started having hot flashes I went to see my Dr. and they tested

my estrogen level which was in fact too low. I tried several different types and

strengths of hormone replacement therapy which had my system so screwed up that

I finally decided to throw them all in the trash and buy a natural supplement containing

plant estrogen. After a month or 2 of taking this, I finally got straightened out

and stopped having the hot flashes. When I went back to see my Dr. he said that

the steroids I was taking for my back had probably inhibited my estrogen production

causing the hot flashes. Since I was diagnosed w/bronch. on Feb. 1 this year

and have started using the Advair inhaler, I have noticed that my body

temperature is much hotter than before. I used to be very cold natured and now

I’m almost always hot. The steroid in the inhaler is the only thing that

I can attribute the change to.

I’m not saying that this is the

cause of everyone’s hot flashes and night sweats, but it might be worth

considering since we all know how detrimental steroids are to our bodies.

I have the facial flushing but no sweats but attributed it to age. Did it before anyone diagnosed me with bronch. I haven't had to take oral steroids since last year - just the Advair.
