Night Sweats And Ptsd

[kenziii]

does anyone feel like he has nightmares or bad dreams and he can't remember them ? and you wake up with a lot of sweats that you can feel really cold while sleeping ? i guess it is the nightmares that can cause sweating ??because yes i know i had dreams but can't remember anything except they included people related to the trauma

@kenziii, as I understand it, these can be forms of flashbacks in nightmares. For me, I can have a nightmare in the middle of summer like this and still feel cold to my bones. (While other times it could be the other way around.)

It is very unpleasant, that's for sure. I'm sorry that you're experiencing them as well. :(

Rarely remember dreams anymore.

Yep. I used to wake up soaking wet and change clothes in the middle of the night. I have always had some of that but it was getting bad. I recently had a hysterectomy and I am back to baseline with them so my doctor thinks the hormone imbalances exacerbated the night sweats greatly. I started having issues with hormones and the night sweats got bad when I was 38. I'm 46 now. So much better!

I used to get night sweats a lot but not anymore thankfully. I would have to get up in the middle of the night and change clothes. I already had a full on hycterstemy along time ago so it was not hormones. I wish you well.
