KiminOrlando Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 This is weird. Even by our standards. Here goes. Every night after 11pm but before 1am, I get a strange feeling in my stomach. It is almost a queasy feeling, but more like someone puts their hand on it and squeezes. Within 60 seconds, I am covered in sweat. Every night. Is this some kind of chemical / hormone release? Is it related to my HyperPOTS? Does anyone get this? I can tell people that I am about to start sweating profusely and they are stunned when they see it.

Pistol Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 @KiminOrlando - I get a similar sensation every evening, about 45 minutes after I take my evening meds. I will suddenly start sweating and can feel my heart pounding briefly, accompanied my a wave of nausea. Since for me it consistently happens after taking the meds I am pretty sure it is from that. But I do not get this when I take my morning meds, so I believe it happens because in the evening I am resting after the pills - in the morning I am usually up and about. I also know that there are 4 reasons for night sweats: hormones, medications, infection and menopause. If your episodes are not caused by medication - could it be one of the other causes?

KiminOrlando Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yes, but does menopause limit it to only night? My mom wasn't limited to hot flashes at night and I have gotten menopause related hot flashes during the day. The odd squeezed stomach sensation didn't come with it though. I didn't know if this was a renin dump or acetylcholine or ?? Adrenaline doesn't seem to come with the weird stomach thing. I get buzzy with that. I wish I knew what it was. It is predictable. I probably will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 @KiminOrlando - hot flashes and night sweats are two different things. I had hot flashes but also had night sweats, and they felt different. I never really felt all that hot when I had the night sweats - just really sweaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've been starting to get hot flashes./sweating episodes. It doesn't happen during the day, for me. It happens just when I am going to bed and winding down (or trying to). However the feeling in your stomach does not sound like menopause.

p8d Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I get total body sweats whenever I get strong stomach cramps for any reason. My theory, for what it’s worth, is that it involves the vagus nerve setting off sympathetic overload. I get totally hot/sweaty when I have been upright to long too. I remember my father in law who had very bad congestive heart failure getting very hot and sweaty a couple of minutes before he had a bad case of diarrhea. Why you would get that at a certain time of night is a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
