Night sweats while on IV's only

I usually sweat a lot, but the night sweats are worse when my sugars are high (thanks to prednisone), on IVs or very sick. Sometimes all three are to blame at the same time.

If you are sweating a lot, make sure you try to replace the lost fluids. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! Waking up in a soaked bed is no fun!

I remember you posting on this topic some while back. This is very interesting. I am just curious, how on earth did you figure out this was the cause? Was it just trial and error with the Proton Pump Inhibitors (meds to reduce the stomach acid right?) or were you having other signs or symptoms related to aspirating, or is there a special test they do to diagnose this?
I don't suffer from night sweats while on IV's but I can say that most antibiotics (oral or IV) increases my heartburn from occasional to ongoing while on them, perhaps it could be that IV's aggravate your initial problem. Of course there could be hundreds of other causes too. Some side effects from IV's I have had are rashes, peeling skin, once my one pupil dilated...but no night sweats.
Either way, glad your resolved your problem.

I do get nightsweats also on IV's. I assumed that it was due to the fact that when our bodies are fighting bacterial or other infections, it is a sign we are getting rid of the bad stuff, in un-medical terms. Maybe that's the wrong assumption.

Keep drinking a LOT of fluids which you probably already know.

Oh, and I already take insulin which I am great at regulating, and I still get the nightsweats. So don't let anyone convince you that you need insulin just because this is happening. However, I would test your blood sugar though 2 hrs after a meal while on IV's just to see what your numbers are.
