Expert says sweating at night may be sign of underlying vitamin deficiency

Sweating at night is common, especially during the sweltering heat that's currently engulfing the UK.There are many factors that lead to night sweats, from pyjamas to bed clothes or sleeping next to a partner.

It's usually not something to worry about, but if you wake up consistently with soaked through sheets, even in cooler weather, it may be a sign of wider health issues.According to one expert, a problem that can prompt night sweats is a symptom of nutrient deficiencies.

Public Health Nutritionist Dr Emma Derbyshire from the Health and Food Supplements Information Service said that night sweats are seen in those lacking important vitamins and minerals.

Such deficiencies can relate to vitamin B12, which helps the body to repair wounds and is also vital for oxygen flow. It may also be a result of a lack of vitamin D, which is common in the UK as it's sourced mainly from sun light.
