Since I have been on Sertraline (12 months ago I started on it) I have been having night sweats on and off. I will wake up with a very sweaty chest, back of head/neck and groin! It is so bad I have to change my nightclothes, sometimes twice in one night. Sometimes it goes away for weeks then comes back. It gets worse if I am ill or am having a vivid dream. Sometimes I don’t get it at all.
Anyway, after a few months of having very little health anxiety I am now panicking again. I have a bit of a virus/sore throat and for the past week I have been sweating heavily every night and often in the daytime too. I know many people have sweating as a side effect from Sertraline, but it concerns me and I also have shotty/lumpy lymph nodes!
I had a lump on the right side of my neck, had it checked out and nurse said it’s a vein. I now have three small, moveable lumps on the left side of my neck low down toward my collar bone. They came up quite quickly around the same time I got my virus, but of course now I am freaking out over it cause of the night sweats I am worrying over lymphoma!!
I want to see the Dr for advice about the night sweats as they are so annoying and really get me down. I get married next year and I don’t want to be getting these night sweats on our honeymoon (passion killer or what!) However I am scared to see the Dr because I am worried they will be concerned over Lymphoma and will want to do blood tests and scans. If this happens I will literally go to pieces and convince myself I am going to die :(
I have had CBT and I am now having psychodynamic therapy and I am on 150mg Setraline. My HA was getting loads better but I can feel myself going under again.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks!
