What is cold sweat, and is excessive sweating at night a sign of kidney deficiency?

Patient's question:

Excessive sweating while sleeping, sweating all over, poor sleep quality, good appetite when sleeping

Doctor's answer:

Hello, night sweats may be caused by qi deficiency or yin deficiency. If the night sweats are due to qi deficiency, it is usually because of poor vasodilation function. You can use the modified Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang formula to adjust it. If the night sweats are caused by insufficient heart blood, symptoms include palpitations and poor sleep, and it is recommended to nourish blood and calm the heart using the modified Gui Pi Tang formula for treatment.
Advice: If the night sweats are caused by a yin deficiency constitution, the body may exhibit dry heat symptoms, which can also lead to night sweats. In this case, you can use the modified Liu Wei Di Huang Wan formula to improve it. For night sweats caused by yin deficiency and fire excess, symptoms include five-palm heat and restlessness. It is advisable to nourish yin and reduce fire using the modified Dang Gui Liu Huang Tang formula. However, it is still recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for differential diagnosis before taking medication to improve the condition.
