I used to get terrible night sweats and immediately freaked out thinking it was something horrible. It turned out to be my thyroid acting up after a routine blood test. Please get some basic blood work done and see a doctor to rule out hormonal issues first.
Haan, darr toh lagta hai aisi cheezein padh kar, par har baar aisa nahi hota na. Kabhi kabhi normal acidity ya room garam hone se bhi pasina aata hai. Itna stress mat lo, par agar roz ho raha hai toh ek baar doctor ko dikha lena chahiye.
Man, if sweating at night meant that, I would have been gone years ago. Usually, it's just my room turning into a tandoor because the AC remote decided to die. But seriously, don't jump to the worst conclusion; usually, it's just hot weather or bad blankets.
I agree with others that it's usually something minor like hormonal changes or a warm room. Keep a log of how often it happens so you can show it to a doctor if you decide to go.
At my age, I have seen so many people worry about this, including myself back in the day. Most of the time it was just stress, gastric trouble, or simple weather changes, not cancer. Take a deep breath, keep yourself hydrated, and consult a doctor to put your mind at ease.

Before you panic, try making some simple changes like wearing lighter cotton clothes to bed and keeping the window slightly open for ventilation. Also, avoid heavy, spicy dinners right before sleeping. If the issue still persists for weeks, then book a basic consultation with your local family doctor.
In my case, severe night sweats were actually linked to my fluctuating blood pressure and bad sleep habits. Once I started monitoring my BP daily and improved my diet, it got much better. You should definitely get a general health checkup done before stressing over severe illnesses.
