Common causes

It can be primary without a clear medical cause or secondary to a medicine or health condition.

Risk factors

New sudden sweating with chest pain, breathlessness or fainting, or night sweats with persistent fever/weight loss needs assessment.

Red flags — seek urgent care

Sweating with chest pain, breathlessness, or fainting needs urgent assessment.

Suggested next step

Seek medical review if it starts suddenly, disrupts daily life, or occurs at night without a clear reason.
