I am trying hard to find an answer to a very bothersome question. I am pestered by an overheating problem from my upper body and face that seems to defy solution. Is there any way I can find a solution to this issue? I'm in good health at 80 years of age and this issue seems to defy even a few suggestions from my internist. This issue has gone on for 20 years. The overheating starts at about 15 minutes after beginning even modest housework. I drink ample amounts of water, and do not drink alcohol. My husband and I share the same diet and we both have normal thyroid function.
