These diseases or conditions are usually untreatable and research has shown that they are one of the conditions that are capable of causing sweating at night. Some of them are; Rheumatoid arthritis, Grave’s Disease etc. So you need to get checked.
2. Infections Like HIV
Some infections may be responsible for profuse night sweats. The most notable infections that are responsible for profuse night sweating include; HIV, bacterial infections, and tuberculosis, but the only way to confirm is if you have other symptoms as such as fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, loss of weight and appetite etc.
3. Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is another health issue that could be responsible for the profuse night sweating you are experiencing. It happens when a person can’t breathe well while sleeping to the extent that the body exerts more pressure for him or her to be able to breathe, thus leading to sweating at night.

People suffering from sleep apnea are often at a higher risk of sleep time death and may also stand a higher risk of heart issues and stroke. You can know if it’s due to sleep apnea if you often wake up gasping for breath.
