What Causes Constant Hot Flashes With Shortness Of Breath?

I have some chronic conditions however, now I have been having some incredibly uncomfortable new symptoms. Keep in mind that I have had radioactive iodine so my thyroid is not working properly. I have also had my blood work done and I am not going through menopause yet. So the worst part is the shortness of breath and the constant hot flashes. I have been taking 600mg of ibuprofen liquid gels and it doesn t make a difference. The hot flashes never stop. This has been going on for weeks with no signs of stopping. I am have hot flashes every few minutes for a few minutes and then immediately start dripping with sweat and then immediately after that is the cold shivers. I am not diebetic. What do you think?
