My doctor wont give me hrt as on the waiting list for hystorectomy, night sweats are driving me mad. I can't remember the last time i had a full nights sleep, I dont' drink coffee, my window is open all weather and I have a fan in the room, but this still does not help me have a full nights sleep? Is there anything I can buy over the counter, there is no point going to the doctors again. I am also on losartan for high blood pressure.

You could try Sage tablets as they are traditionally used for flushes/sweats and I would also suggest a magnesium supplement with your evening meal to help with sleep as well. Acupuncture can often be really helpful in this situation as well so worth looking into as well.
