What Causes Excessive Sweating In Body While On Thyroid Supplements?

I am a 71 year old woman I had 4 stents placed in an artery 3 years ago. I stopped taking hormones at that time I take effient daily with e other blood pressure medications. One year later my thyroid was removed. I am suffering from excessive sweating many times a day all over my body and at night. It is getting worse. Could my medications be the cause? I also take a thyroid supplement that my doctor says is appropriate.

Hi,
Good evening,
Thyroid is main metabolic hormone in our body. If its amount is more than the normal than its causes excessive perspiration, heat intolerance, palpitation, weight loss. So it might be due to thyroid hormone. I advise do your blood TSH, T3 and T4. Level.
