Excessive Sweating And Feeling Cold Simultaneously. Any Suggestions?

I am a 28 year old female. For the past 2 years I have been dripping with sweat and freezing cold at the same time. It s miserable. It hits the worst in autumn months. Internet research is suggesting pre- menopause or thyroid issues, but I cant find the symptom of sweating and freezing at the exact same time. Any suggestions?

Hi
The common cause of 'Cold sweating' is Anxiety - one needs to exclude possible physical causes before concluding.
Disturbances of Autonomic Nervous system is occasionally responsible.
If it is limited to one small area - dermatologist can help
It is absolutely right to have the hormones measured (eg. thyroid). You are rather young - 28 is too early for menopause!
Anti-cholinergic with an anxiolytic (as is given at times for Irritable Bowel Syndrome) are helpful in some - See your internist and they could guide further.
Get well soon
Good luck
