Post Covid sweating: Is this common for others too?

I am too sweating post Covid. It started about 3 weeks after my first symptoms and have just been getting worse. At night I need to change sheets and dry myself with towels. At first I thought it’s menopause but I just turned 38… And I’m on the pill which I’ve heard usually masks menopause symptoms (?). But now I’m thinking maybe it’s Covid. I’ve also had heart palpitations since I got infected.

I am almost in the exact same boat as you as far as your post goes. I had Covid a year ago now and have been sweating like mad ever since. I sweat pretty average for a person living in a subtropical environment before Covid but now, I have to keep ice packs in my pockets and cold towels around my neck if I’m doing literally anything at all, even just sitting up at a desk. I’m 33, on the pill, and thought it might be early menopause because I couldn’t imagine menopause being worse than this but now I’m of the opinion that it’s long Covid related.
Did you ever find a way to manage it? It’s gotten so uncomfortable, especially in public or even just with my partner because I feel like I must seem very out of shape, very overweight or generally very unhealthy. I have to take multiple showers a day to deal with my hair getting sweaty but then I sweat as soon as I step out of the shower too. There’s literally no escape, save from standing half-inside my freezer.

I had covid in June. From the second day of having covid I started with hot flashes. I'm 70 and it was worse then my menopause hot flashes. They finially stoped in September on their own. (Thank you Lord)! Hope yours stops soon!
