Is night sweating a symptom of anxiety? For the past 3 weeks I have been suffering from severe health anxiety for a lump I found on my neck. I went to my doctor she suspects it’s a lymph node and ran blood work (which was normal) and I am waiting on an ultrasound in another couple of weeks. Needless to say my anxiety has been out of control due to this. 

I recently noticed that I had been waking up a few times throughout the week kinda sweaty in my neck/back/torso area. Sometimes I attribute it to having stressful dreams other times I notice it when I don’t think I’ve had any dreams (or don’t remember). I also googled and read this could be a sign of something more serious making me panic even more. I have a prescription for prozac but I’m too scared to take it as I’m afraid of side effects. Also a occasionally take hydroxyzine but, it does nothing to help. 

Does anyone else experienced night sweating due to anxiety or am I experiencing other health related issues?
