Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Sweating and weight gain are among the symptoms of an underactive thyroid.This is possible if you receive less than the amount of thyroxine your boby needs.Your symptoms suggest that you need a higher dose of thyroxine.I will suggest you see your Doctor or Endocrinologist for reevaluation.If symptoms persist after dose adjustment, then causes not related to your thyroid may be investigated.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
