Does night sweating mean too much inositol in the liver?
Night sweats can be related to myasthenia gravis, but they're not typically caused by having too much inositol in the liver. The connection between choline, inositol, and night sweats isn't straightforward in MG.
What's more relevant to MG is that excessive sweating can be a sign of too much acetylcholine activity in the body. This can happen if medications like pyridostigmine (an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) are at too high a dose, leading to what's called a cholinergic crisis.
Signs of too much acetylcholine include:
- Excessive sweating
- Increased saliva production
- Stomach problems (nausea, diarrhea, cramps)
- Muscle twitching or weakness
- Changes in heart rate
If night sweats are new or worsening, it's worth discussing with a healthcare provider. They can evaluate whether it's related to MG medication dosing or another cause entirely. Don't adjust medications without medical guidance, as both too much and too little can cause problems.
