What is the reason for sweating after waking up

Some people find that they always wake up because of the heat, and they are covered in sweat when they touch themselves. Sweating caused by reasons other than environmental factors is called night sweats. Night sweats are mostly caused by physical weakness and should be treated with a combination of medication, diet therapy and exercise. In addition, the patient's bedding, leaflets and clothing must be washed in time to avoid the breeding of more bacteria. For patients with night sweats, it is necessary to prevent bedsores.

(1) In medicine, sweating while awake is called "spontaneous sweating" and sweating during sleep is called "night sweats". Night sweats is a disease name in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a symptom characterized by abnormal sweating after falling asleep and stopping sweating after waking up. "Dao" means stealing. Ancient doctors used the term "thieves" to describe the symptoms of this disease, which means that every time people fall asleep or just close their eyes and are about to fall asleep, sweat leaks out like a thief.

(2) While taking medication, you should strengthen necessary physical exercise, develop a regular lifestyle, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In terms of diet, you should find out the dietary rules that are beneficial or harmful to your symptoms, and take the most suitable dietary therapy for yourself. Patients with yin deficiency, blood heat, and yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should abstain from spicy and irritating foods, avoid drinking alcohol, and eat more fresh vegetables that nourish yin and clear heat, so that the secretory function of the sweat glands can be restored firmly on the basis of body health.

When conditions permit, adjust the temperature and humidity of the living environment appropriately. For example, the living environment of those with yin deficiency and blood heat should be slightly cooler.

( 4) The patient’s bedding, bed boards, pajamas, etc. should be washed or air-dried regularly to keep them dry, and the patient should take a bath regularly to reduce the irritation of sweat to the skin.

For patients with severe night sweats and long-term bedriddenness, family members should pay special attention to strengthening care to avoid bedsores. Also pay attention to observe the patient's complexion, consciousness, and amount of sweating. If there are any special changes, report them to the doctor in a timely manner.

Life care:

Night sweats are a common clinical symptom, especially in people who have suffered from various chronic diseases for a long time and have weak constitutions. Chinese medicine believes that night sweats are mostly caused by deficiency of both Qi and Yin, which cannot restrain and retain sweat. If night sweats are not cured for a long time, they will further damage Qi and Yin and endanger physical health. The use of dietary therapy can not only prevent and treat, but also replenish Qi and Yin and keep fit.
