Post Covid sweating: Is this common for others too?

Hello, I have had intense sweating since February. I had Covid in Oct/Nov., And my profuse sweating situation sounds just like yours. I am on Welbutrin 300 mg and 60 Mg of Duloxotine daily, and it helps with those terribly intense time. However I find that the back of my head and hair are almost constantly wet, even when I am just sitting watching tv. Going outside (I live in Florida) is impossible during the day, but the sweating is under control indoors. Our doctors don't seem to want to acknowledge that there are symptoms left over from our infection. Initially my perfect blood pressure went thru the roof and my cholestrol levels shot up too. I have had extensive testing of the lungs and heart since February, and everything is fine. My pressure and cholesterol have returned to normal. There are many articles out there that you will identify with. The sweating is a leftover from Covid 19.

I joined this group because I have annoying neuropathy in both my feet, sometimes traveling up to my knees. But now I have a new one for everybody. I had a positive Covid-19 test on Sept. 28. I was pretty much self trating, was able to get a doctors appt. (PA) today. It was suggested that I get an infusion. The one that medicare approves of or of course the more expensive one. I choose the medicare approved one. While I was waiting I got extremely hot, so they bought me some water and turned on a desk fan. When they tried to put the needle in, I started to faint and asked them to stop. I was given a z-pack and predisone. That was today and tonight, I started getting hot off and on, and think I was having hot flashes. I am 79. I can't find out much on the web, but it does appear that hot flashes are a common sign in the UK of Omicron BA.5 (1 in 10) are suffering hot flushes. Has any one else experience this?

I posted this a couple of months ago:

My husband started oddly/unusually sweating during his first covid infection and then the sweating and other symptoms (painful cold sensations, brain fog, irritability, weepiness, weight loss) became personally and professionally debilitating after his second covid infection and vaccinations.
It’s been over 1.5 years now. He’s been seen by many specialists, had multiple tests and studies done, tried various medications and still no diagnosis.

Someone on here posted about the medication, Oxybutynin to help reduce sweating. This has been life changing for my husband! It doesn’t eliminate what we call “episodes” where he still feels many of the symptoms, but it has stopped the majority of the sweating. He’s taking 15mg extended release once daily and no longer changing clothes up to 4 times daily.

I highly recommend researching it and talking to your doctor to hopefully get some relief from the constant sweating.

I feel like menopause was easier for me than this. I have a new variant, I am 66. My boyfriend is 69, got Covid from me. We were so sick, but it seems to never end. I still have low grade fevers, very frequently. I don’t know how often exactly, I just try to ignore it. I am so tired of being sick. I want to move on, but the fatigue is devastating. The fevers are just enough to alert me, because the fatigue accompanies it. I am embarrassed that I am so tired. Ugh!

Thank you. I'll talk to the doctor about it. Is it a prescription where you are?

Just want to confirm it’s 15 mg ER? That’s certainly on the higher dosage limits of this medication for hyperhidrosis.

Yes, he's currently taking Oxybutynin ER 15 mg once daily after trying 5 mg and 10 mg without much impact. Since 15 mg has been working for months, he's tried to go back down to 10 mg, but some of the sweating came back.

Same here. I am into Covid day five and the hot flashes just began. Don't know if it was the medication of the Covid.
