Hot Flashes
Sun, 06/19/2016 - 14:43I can't seem to find much online about this topic. I was wondering if anyone else will randomly get really hot and even sweaty. This can happen at any time, I'll just be walking around and then all of sudden feel very hot and maybe start sweating. I also will wake up some nights and find my sheets wet from sweat. I have never passed out or had a seizure to my knowledge after one of these hot flashes. Just wondering if I'm alone with this or if it is something others deal with as well.

It is part of the eilpesy. I'm not sure if it is a small aura( which is a simple partial seizure) but my doc told me it was seizure. Hope it helps

Similar thing happens to me! I wake up 3-5 times a night absolutely drenched in sweat, even when the room is cold and I don't have the sheets covering my entire body. I never really sweat that much and these flashes don't occur during the daytime but they have become more frequent/severe lately. Recently saw my doctor for a normal checkup and I asked him about the night sweats and he unfortunately did not have a reasonable explanation. Do my sheets every other day just about.
