Four illnesses caused by sweating all over the body even when sleeping with the air conditioner on

Four illnesses to suspect when you sweat all over even after cooling the air conditioner and sleeping

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing temporarily stops during sleep.

Usually, snoring is accompanied by a choking sound and a cessation of breathing.

In particular, cases that occur frequently in obese individuals, as weight increases, the tongue and tonsils enlarge.

Because the airway narrows and fat accumulates in the neck area, reducing the space inside the throat, breathing becomes difficult.

During sleep, the parasympathetic nervous system should be activated for restful sleep, but in patients with sleep apnea who snore, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, causing an increase in heart rate and sweating.

 

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism enhances intracellular metabolic activity.

Thyroid hormones that promote stimulation and raise body temperature

It is a condition characterized by excessive secretion.

The thyroid gland secretes hormones that regulate metabolism by being involved in energy metabolism.

However, when the thyroid hormone is excessively secreted, it causes excessive sweating, inability to tolerate heat, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, and anxiety.

◇Anxiety Disorder

People with anxiety disorders can also sweat a lot during sleep.

Anxiety disorder occurs when the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems is disrupted, leading to symptoms such as cold sweat, dizziness, and chest tightness.

In particular, in cases of panic disorder, individuals may experience nocturnal panic attacks characterized by sudden difficulty breathing, cold sweats, and anxiety during sleep.

 

Blood cancer

Rarely, it can be caused by blood cancer.

When blood cancer cells release inflammatory substances, the body's immune system responds, causing cold sweats. If cancer cells cause inflammation under the skin, it may be accompanied by systemic itching. If symptoms such as cold sweats, itching, sudden weight loss, or lumps in the neck, armpits, or groin appear, blood cancer should be suspected.
