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 have this as well, plus my body temperature starts dropping with the sweat... down to 92.9° if I don't immediately stop. 5 years into post covid and still have the vibration 24/7, too.

I have now stared to really try and read my body more. When just walking in a store I can feel the start of the heat starting to generate inside me...I have to sit down immediately and rest in hopes of stopping it before it really gets a hold on me..sometimes I'm to late..I also get nauseated too..hope this makes a little sence.

@taunya6543 and any others coping with the sweats. I too blame this on. Covid and/or vaccines. It’s a daily occurrence. One reason why I hate hot summers. My hair is not only wet, it is dripping wet. Such a gross feeling. Thank God for showers. I’m glad I’m not the only one this happens to. Nice to know others share the same.

I also have been perspiring profusely. I perspire even if I am just sitting, and if there is any exertion, I am then soaking wet. My hands also tremble. I have just started with herbs. Since there is nothing known to cure this from covid, I am being treated for viral infections such as Epstein Barr. It takes a while as its three weeks on one, then another three weeks on another, blood test and finally three weeks on another. I will update. This is thru a functional medicine doctor who is also a regular MD--not someone who is adding this to his current practice--whatever that may be.

Hello— I’ve now had Covid twice. (immunocompromised: — Lupus, PsA, AI Pancreatitis/EPI , Asthma). I’m considered a Long Covid patient— contracted the first case early 2020 & still have some ongoing issues. One thing that doesn’t get better is the body temp disregulation. I get sudden onset extreme heat intolerance. I get no warning. It happens periodically & day/night. It’s to the point that it’s so profound I sometimes have to quickly remove my clothing. But what’s absolutely terrible is the profound night sweats. This has been going on for over 14 months now. It wakes me up several times a night. Sometimes it’s my entire body—literally head to toe. I wake up drenched in sweat, and my body is hot to the touch. Even this past winter—when the night temps get to 20•, I turned the heat off, opened my bedroom window, had light covers on. No relief. It’s unbearable. Doctors here (NM) have performed so many tests. They keep saying that it’s not related to female hormonal changes & no obvious signs of Thyroid disease . (I have had significant vascular & neurological changes since Covid diagnoses.) They can’t figure it out. One suggested that perhaps it’s related to Long Covid. I’m just exasperated & need answers

@dianecox This has been my experience as well. It started after my first Covid vaccine protocol in the winter of 2021. Even my shins get drenched in sweat.

The doctor ran a battery of tests. Zero results. We’ve tried HRT, levothyroxine, gabapentin, and clonidine patches (2mg?).

I also experienced difficulty breathing and CT scans (or MRI scans…always forget which) revealed I had “ground glass” effect, similar to Covid Virus side effect, in my lungs. Respiratory therapy and time helped with my breathing and stamina.
Nothing has helped.
