Hypothyroid, Sweating Badly, Fatigued. Could This Be Related To Thyroid ?
I am a 57 yr old woman. I am hypo but recently I have been sweating so bad that it runs down my forehead. My job of 14 yrs. is nothing strenuous but I do have to work. I sweat so bad that I soak my clothes before I am at work an hour! In the evening I could be cleaning up in the kitchen after supper and sweat so bad that I look like I just got out of the shower! There has been exhaustion with it also where I wish I could take a nap ALL THE TIME. In 1994 a dr. told me that I had fatigue syndrome. He never did anything or give me anything. He is long gone and I have no faith in our family dr. I go 3 hours away to an internal medicine dr twice a year because I was not happy with what the family dr was doing with my thyroid. I have to go again soon. Could this be a thyroid problem? The sweating and exhaustion just came on recently. I am taking Cytomel and some supplements.
Based on the information you have given, it looks like your symptoms (excessive sweating, exhaustion) might be related to Cytomel. This drug is a potent form of thyroid hormone that stimulates sympathetic nervous system and can burn your energy stores causing exhaustion. It also innervates sweat glands, thus excessive sweating. I will advise that you consult your doctor and get the drug titrated based on your thyroid condition.
Hope this helps.
