9. AFib & Sweating
AFib can cause sweating in the daytime as well as night sweats. Sweating with AFib is part of the interaction between heart disease and the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates sweat production.
The relationship of AFib to anxiety and stress, even when an episode happens at night, is key. Body stress doesn't always have to be a conscious state. When the body is undergoing an AFib episode, the stress on the body itself is enough to trigger a sweat response.1’Atrial fibrillation.’ Mayo Clinic. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/atrial-fibrillation/symptoms-causes/syc-20350624
