Hi

I'm going through early menopause because of my treatment and I really suffer at night as well. It makes my heart really pound as well. I haven't found anything that helps yet but I'm going to buy a fan in preparation for summer! Hopefully someone will reply to us with some answers.

The nights are the worst I have a hand held fan but it's doesn't help much ha ha. Fingers crossed we get some help because my husband says I'm like a mini volcano at night

Hi ladies

take care love Lara ️

Hello CazCu and haylzz and thanks for posting,

I am sorry to learn that you are both  having bad sweats at night time, I expect this is preventing you from getting enough sleep which must be exhausting. 

Our website has some tips about coping with hot flushes and sweats at this link.  And there are some tips about dealing with sleep problems here. 

Another charity, Breast Cancer Now, has information about hot flushes and night sweats here.

You might have read about these before and already tried some, I think there is a bit of trial and error involved in finding out what might help. But I hope some of the suggestions at these links are worth following up on. Do ask your doctors or specialist nurse (if you have one) for their advice as well when you have the chance. 

Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. Our number Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays, 9-5. 

Wishing you the best,

Julia

I've got one of them as well....it helps when I'm out and about but not so much at night like yourself. I dread to think how i'm going to cope in the summer!
