I am past 50 and still getting monthly periods. Every night now for the past 3 weeks I've been waking up about 2 hours after falling asleep with night sweats that slightly dampen my bed. My heart feels like it's racing and I have trouble falling back asleep. I assume this is perimenopause except I never have hot flashes during the day. I thought they go hand in hand. During the day I have anxiety and moodiness.
I read here that people get them but not every night like me, which worries me.
Does anyone here experience just night sweats every night but no daytime hot flashes?

Hi
everyone is different with the symptoms they get, for two weeks I get very bad sweating where I have to change my pjs can't sleep naked because after the sweats I freeze a cold I have never had before right to the bone teeth chattering, I believe this is also normal, husband says its like sleeping with a corpse, lethegy is awful so tired some days were I sleep all day, weight gain/loss, memory loss, anxiety, depression, joints feel like I have been kicked by a horse, hair loss and gained in places you don't want it.
type in Google symptoms of menopause, there are loads of symptoms.
dont worry it's different for everyone, as probably hundreds of women will tell you.
I also got thyroid troubles when started with menopause. 😊
Hi wanttoknow,
That was me almost 10 years ago......it started that way, then subsided. You'll find the symptoms have absolutely no rhyme or reason at times. I believe in the past 10 years (I'm 56 now) I may have had 10 actual hotflashes, the most being about a year ago and way more night sweats.
I can sleep through the night sweats at this point, crazy as it sounds. I only know this because sometimes my husband will wake up during the night and notice me kicking covers off in my sleep, drenched. I'm trying to think of my last hot flash (haven't had a period since this past December) and I believe it's been some time. Don't miss them!
Wishing you the quickest journey through this time!

Thanks for the replies. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Not looking forwards to the rest of the symptoms to make their grand entrance!
When I started getting night sweats, I noticed I got them four hours after I ate carbs. So I cut down on the carbs in the evening and try to eat low glycemic index carbs. It worked for a while, but now I have anemia pretty bad, it's giving me major sleep issues. Of course I am taking supplements now.
This describes my symptoms exactly, including the anxiety and moodiness...also depression. I never have hot flashes, but night sweats every night. Hopefully this is normal, but I do plan to have my thyroid checked. Did not have these symptoms when on a low carb diet. I'm going to go back on that diet to see if it helps!!
