What Causes Profuse Sweating While On Levothyroxine?
Hello, I have hair/scalp that smells like perm solution. I have not had a perm in years. I also do have night sweats, am 61, take 125 mcgs. of levothyroxine. I started noticing the smell about 6 weeks ago. Been on Levothyroxine for over 10 years. Have lots of migraine headaches also. Thanks

You need to check your TSH level have gone very low, that can cause excessive sweating.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
