Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Considering the diseases you are suffering from and medicines you are taking it seems most likely that the cause of hot flashes and night sweats is autonomic neuropathy. You should consult a neurologist for further management.
