Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Cold Sweats?
Hi I usually post in the Carers Forum.
Hubby has all of a sudden started to get cold sweats he is shivering and really cold wearing a jacket but his skin is clammy and hot? We live in the tropics so its not cold weather.
He has blood tests that only show that he is diabetic 2 and the Doc said the cold sweats arent from that?
I am really starting to think its physcilogical (sp) he has had PTSD for a few years now and yes his stress cup is full if not overflowing with a lot going on in our lives.
Do many sufferers have this cold sweat problem?
Thanks Jen!

Jen,

I don't have cold sweats, but I do get very cold very easily when my stress levels go up. I work in an air conditioned office and while most of the people complain that it's still hot, I'm bordering on cold. But if I get anxious or stressed, I'm putting on a sweater I keep in my office because I get so cold I'm achy. I live in the tropics, too.

Stress does odd things to our bodies. My rule of thumb is now that if somethings off, and it bothers me so much I go to the doctor, and the doctor says there's nothing wrong, then we put it to stress. Fortunately my primary care provider understands the affects of stress and anxiety on people.

My advice would be to have him track the cold sweats. If they get worse when stress goes up, then you have your answer.

Good luck.
Lisa

I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat, but only at night not during the day.
I'd get a second opinion.
