Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam,

Welcome to healthcaremagic

Morning sweats can be due to Thyroid disorders,Diabetes and any infection.I would suggest you to check your thyroid profile, a Fasting blood glucose and a complete blood count.

This will definitely help to find out the etiology behind your sweat.In the meantime ,please check your heart status ,by going through an Electrocardiogram,to rule out any cardiac disease.Please drink proper amount of water to cool your body, sleep in an airy environment.

Hope this helped.Feel free to ask more.
