Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your thyroid controls every metabolic function in your body, so it can cause either hot flashes, or it can cause you to be cold all the time, or both.
I suggest you to do a thyroid hormone level to maintain it under control and get proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
