My husband is 83 yrs. old. He has this condition where he wakes up soaking wet and yet he s freezing. We have to get up, change his clothes and sometimes even the bed linens. We are puzzled by this as no one can seem to diagnose his problem. We have seen an infectious disease doctor and he just plainly told us he didn t know what was causing this. Do you have any suggestions as to what we should do? He has just awakened from an afternoon nap and everything is soaked down to the mattress. Thank you for any advice.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. There are two clinical condition that can be suspected in your husband. He is either having a hyperthyroidism or he is having hyper Chat Doctor. Both condition can cause the problem. In my advice you should visit the endocrine specialist doctor. They will diagnose properly with detail history and clinical examination. You should take other precautionary measures like put him in a good AC room, wearing a cotton only cloth, using talcum powder, loose clothing etc. This simple measure can help him better life. Hyper thyroidism can be treated with antithyroid
