Post Covid sweating: Is this common for others too?

Posted by dr4bama @dr4bama, Jul 14, 2022

I am experiencing profuse sweating off during the day and nightly. Is this common post Covid?

I to have been sweating profusely atleast 8-9 times a day. Some are light, some are medium (sweat beading all over my body), some are Severe (sweat running in rivulets all over my entire body). This goes on all day, waking me during the night 2-3 times atleast. Is there any help for this condition? This is one miserable condition to be afflicted with. Are you still sweating? It's been a while since this was posted.

Unfortunately I am still sweating. It's miserable, but nothing to be done about it. All my other symptoms are gone except this and sometimes the trembling in my hands comes back. I am taking 60 mg of Duloxetine 2X a day. It helps with the hot flashes only to a point, but its better than nothing. I had a total hysterectomy at 50 (I'm 75 now) and the meds at the time almost totally got rid of the hot flashes, but my doctor said I had to come off them. I am back on hormone therapy, but it has not helped with the sweating. I have developed rashes in certain places on the body that seem to be constantly damp. What's next??? If I find a solution, I will definitely post, and hope you will too..

Thanks for the reply I appreciate it. I too had the rash problem. I use Kleenex Hand towels. I fold them in half and place them under my breasts and at my groin area (bra and panties to hold in place, and replace them after each sweat, lay them out let them dry (the get softer) and re-use them until they get holes. Also, for the rash, Boudreaux's Butt Paste applied to the area after each sweat. If I find a solution I will surely let you know. Like you the only thing they've tried is hormone (Premrin) doesn't help. Still seeing specialists and testing.

Thanks for the information. My rash was so bad that my doctor prescribed something that is very slow in curing this, but it is working. It's frustrating.
Best of luck.

I had covid almost 2 years ago. About 4 days after showing symptoms, I started sweating profusely. Especially after eating and drinking. I'm warm, too. I barely wear clothes at home because I'm too warm. I was never like this until covid, so I'm assuming it's related. I'm now 45 and female.

It is possible that you may be starting Perimenopause. I had extreme sweating throughout the day, every 20 minutes actually. I saw my Doctor and she put me on hormones. Sweating stopped. You also may want to have your Thyroid checked as this can also cause extreme sweating. I also have a thyroid condition that requires medication daily. Good luck!

Yes. Early on anyway:
Tinnitus
Fatigue
Brain fog
Rashes
Insomnia
Aches
Dizzy spells (almost pass out but never do).

Sin wave like pattern.

In the beginning it was feel slightly better for two hours and then worse again for two hours.

Now 4 years later it's feel better for 6 days then worse again for 6 daze.

It's still better than dead

I got covid back in 2020. I've had horrible night sweats since then. It's so bad that the bed sheets and blanket will be soaking wet. It's like someone poured a 5 gallon bucket of water on me. Now, it's starting to happen during the day as well. Not as bad but bad enough that all of my shirts are getting stained.

Has anyone else noticed symptoms like this, lasting this long?

I have smelly bad night sweats after COVID ( it's not menopause). It happens when I sleep because of fatigue, not other times. My husband and I call it 'COVID sweat's.

I experience something similar.
My body has never been good at sweating, so I now overheat at night, waking up several times, having to put cool water on my face, neck, arms, etc. This has been extremely disruptive to my sleep, adding to my post COVID fatigue. I have autonomic nervous system testing scheduled.
