Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Her situation seems to be a little complex and it is necessary make some tests to investigate for the possible underlying cause.

You should know that the cold and heat spells could be related to a thyroid dysfunction.
The dizzy spells could be related to a thyroid dysfunction as well as to an inner ear disorder.
While the bumps on her skin could be caused by a hormonal imbalance, as well as to an infection.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with her doctor and performing some tests:

- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- PCR, ESR for inflammation
- an abdominal ultrasound to exclude ovarian cysts.
Consulting with an ENT specialist and performing labyrinthine tests to exclude an inner ear disorder would be the next step to be followed if all the above tests result normal.

Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
