Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sweating And Heart Palpitations
I am 61 years old. I had a radical hysterectomy when I was 30. For the past 10 years I have been having terrible hot flashes, perhaps 80% of the time. My head starts to heat up, actually, steaming. I sweat profusely and sometimes I feel faint and very weak. I keep the house about 62 degrees and at times that is not cool enough. I sweat in the bed every night and at times I have to get another pillow to finish the night. I use a C-pap machine and I am type 2 Diabetic. I have taken my blood pressure and blood sugar readings during the spell and there is nothing particularly unusual about my numbers. What could this be.
hello, I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.As you gad Hysterectomy at very young age it is likely that your ovaries were preserved,and now you are getting menopuasal symptoms.But you must rule out thyroid disorder as well. Please get your thyroid functions tested. I would be happy to guide you further if you give me feedback of your reports, My best wishes Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
