Take Synthroid For Thyroid And Have Excessive Sweating. What Could Be The Reason For Experiencing Hot Flashes?
Question: Hi,
I take Synthroid for Thyroid................I have excessive sweating after even minor work. I don't believe it is Hot Flashes, as it happens all the time, even when it's not summer. Could it be Thyroid. I heard this is your "thermostate"?

Brief Answer:
Check thyroid labs
Detailed Answer:
Such sweating issues can occur when the synthroid dose is excessive. The only way to be sure is to do bloodwork for the following laboratory tests :
TSH
Free T4
If these results come back normal, then it is extremely unlikely that your thyroid is responsible for the excessive sweating.
