What Causes Elevated Body Temperature And Excessive Sweating?
For the past several months I have been having spells of my body getting very hot. It comes on very quick and it only last for a min. I sweat then it goes away as fast as it comes on but it leaves me weak for a few minutes. I am 68 years old so i was told by my ob that it is not hot flashes. My dr.has done several blood test and nothing has shown up. I have read about Endothelial disfunction do you think it could be and if so haw serious is this?
