I have Hot Flashes and Night Sweats at 25

[La Lioness Priyanka]

Is this normal? whats wrong with me?

[Failure]

1. my wife does too...I don't know what it is...

do you take any anti-depressants? sometimes they can cause those symptoms.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. yes. paxil.

[hang a left]

13. that is exactly what it is.

It is a side effect.

[Failure]

26. there you go. look at the side-effects...night sweats...etc n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. yes but i have been off them for a month or so

[MissMillie]

2. Call the doc

I know women sometimes get "peri-menopausal" in their 30s, but 25 is too early for hot flashes and night sweats.

5. not funny!

4. Could be mild thyroid disease

Pretty prevalent in adult women, even youngsters like yourself. Ask the doc for a TSH and Free T4 to see if your thyroid is acting up.

Good luck ... and give us followup please!

7. Get to a doctor, NOW.

No, this is not normal at 25. There can be a lot of causes, none of them pleasant, all of them treatable.

Good luck.

9. Night sweats are a symptom of all kinds of diseases.....

Some of them very serious. I would get it checked out asap.

[radwriter0555]

10. oh please. Us chicks have hormone fluctuations ALL THE FRICKIN

TIME.

I've always had night sweats.

Those of us gals with higher hormone levels are prone to this. Merely mention it the next time you're in for your pap schmeer, talk with the doc, she'll re-assure you.

[Misunderestimator]

12. Ditto.... and getting more and more after 40. n/t

[radwriter0555]

32. Yep. The down comforter had to get set aside I'm afraid. The boyfriend

calls me the "heatilator". I'm ALWAYS toasty warm, especially at night.

It's just hormones...

[arcane1]

11. yikes!

this is kind of scary... especially after reading from posters more knowledgable than I.

I agree with them, you should get looked at asap. How long has this been going on?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. going to doc today afternoon

[arcane1]

19. good thinking

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. but i will reiterate

that umm i dont think i am umm pregnant

[arcane1]

22. umm, that's good

21. if my wife comes home for lunch

I'll ask her, with your permission of course. She's a doctor, and a pretty good one. Hasn't croaked one patient this week. Ummm its Monday right?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. lol! please do

[MichaelHarris]

25. she

does all kinds of women's medicine stuff. We go to dinner with other doctors and they talk doc stuff and its like Fear Factor for me. All I can say is, "Stop, I'm trying to eat spagettiO's here"

14. You could be going through a premature menopause.

It's rare, but has been known to happen.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

[Failure]

27. FAILURE saves the day...I'll send you the bill babe n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. failure thou art a success

[SarahB]

31. That's young, but...

Women reach menopause at different times, so the hormone fluctuations begin at different times. Some may be completely done by their late 30's to around 40, so it would seem conceivable for perimenopause symptoms to begin in her 20's. I'm in my early 30's and the women in my family tend to be fertile for a long time (like mid-50's), so I don't have anything close to that personally. If you have any problems or other symptoms, you can always head to the Gyn for a check of your hormone levels.
