So one of the most debilitating symptoms of perimenopause are night sweats. Night sweats are caused by a drop in our hormones, particularly progesterone and estrogen. Many times that is one of the first things that we feel now. They come and go as the hormone levels go up and down, and so they're not all the time, which can make it even more frustrating because it's not constant and you can't ever predict when it's going to happen. But if you've woken up in the middle of the night and it's 30 degrees outside and you feel like your body is on fire, you're probably going through perimenopause. Talk to your provider or come see us at Pinnacle, where we are hormone replacement therapy special specialists, and we will help get you out of your night sweatshirt.
