Do you have night chills or night sweats? - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Message Board

I haven't met too many other PCOS sufferers, do any of you suffer from night chills or sweats? The chills are the worst!! I used to get one every night. When it became 2 a night, I finally sought help from the doctor. It was horrible for both myself & my hubby (the shaking & shivering). Then about a year ago came the night sweats. Not as nearly as bad as the chills but bothersome. The meds are helping now. Thank goodness.

Anybody have similar problems?

Can't say that I do. I did want to reply to your post, as I understand the frustration of having posts going un-replied.

Do you have other symptoms along with the chills and the night sweats? What are you taking for them? I've never heard of chills and night sweats as symptoms of PCOS, but it's not to say that it's impossible. What does your doctor think?

I suffer from HORRIBLE night sweats!!!! I wake up many mornings soaked. I've gotten better, but at one time, I would wake up every single morning literally soaked..............my husband was to the point that he didn't want to sleep in the bed with me cause it was just disgusting. But, thankfully, it has gotten better on it's own.

I have experienced night sweats too even though I am on oral contraceptives and my endocrinologist told me that it is most likely from anxiety due to worrying about pcos so much! He said sometimes we think every symptom is a result of pcos, but really it is from the anxiety associated with it. However, if you experience hot flashes and night sweats when off the pill, for example during the week you are on the sugar pills and have your period, it could be from a drop in estrogen. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you. I was so scared when I started getting them thinking I had cancer or something! Try not to worry because that just makes everything worse!
