Thyroid blood works + FSH

Okay. Thank you for the reply.
It would be good to do a Thyroid blood profile and an FSH.
Thyroid problems and other hormonal disorders can cause sweating like this. Anxiety is another major cause of such symptoms,

Brief Answer:
FSH

Detailed Answer:
Okay. If the thyroid blood work was normal, then you may also need a FSH test. This may give some clue about hormonal dysfunction ( especially since you have some issues with your periods)
