I am a 36-year-old male experiencing daily night sweats for the past two weeks, which has significantly disrupted my sleep and overall well-being. I am currently taking diclofenac for herniated discs but have been on it for years without issues. I have no history of night sweats before this and no current medications specifically for night sweats. What could be causing this sudden onset of night sweats, and what can I do to manage them until I can see a doctor?
