Women experiencing night sweats during both day and night may be showing signs of menopausal syndrome, in which hormonal levels in the body undergo abnormal changes, leading to the above symptoms. It could also be due to hypoglycemia, which can cause sweating episodes regardless of time of day. This may be accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations and dizziness. Additionally, if a patient has hyperthyroidism, these symptoms may also occur, typically caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones in the body.
