I have had a few episodes of waking up all sweaty.I itch all over.I have also had a few episodes of being nauseated and feeling so tired.What could this be?I forgot to mention that i have been having what seems to be hot flashes..Could it be lymphoma or some other type of cancer?Thanks alot!

Your symptoms could be explained by quite a variety of conditions, so your problem could be very simple or serious. There is no way to tell from your description if it is serious -- you should definitely get a professional evaluation from your physician to make sure.

As Dr. Geoff said, an evaluation from your health professional will give you an answer and my personal opinion is always the sooner the better. It's better to hurry, get it checked, and find out it's nothing serious than to wait and risk problems later.

So yes, get it checked right away! ;)
