Common Causes of Night Sweats

Acid Reflux

Many studies have shown an association between acid reflux and GERD and night sweats. This digestive issue happens when the muscles which often keep the esophagus closed don’t work as usual. As a result, the acid in the stomach would reach the esophagus and trigger heartburn. You would also feel chest pain, difficulty swallowing, insomnia, cough, and night sweats. The condition would occur at night or during the day. There are many causes of acid reflux, from medications and medical conditions to eating habits. Fortunately, you can make some lifestyle changes and take heartburn-relieving drugs several times per week to manage these symptoms. [8]
