It is very common to experience sweating with apnea. The body is struggling to breath and the effort plus the cardiac changes causes sweating. Then once you are wet and you remove covers, etc. you will feel cold. Are you using cpap? Usually once treated the sweating goes away. If you are on cpap and continue to sweat something may be wrong with the setting on the machine or the mask may have leaks. If you have not been treated the best thing to do is see a sleep specialist and start treatment.
