What Causes Cold Body But Excessive Sweating On Head And Neck?
My husband is experiencing cold body but excessive sweating on his head and neck. His pulse is a little high 97-107 BPm with a slightly elevated blood pressure. I think it might be from the thyroid medication levothyroxine that he is on. What do you think?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM..
Your husband having hypothyroid and using levothyroxine for that ...
Thus drug can lead headache , fever , heat intolerance in few cases ....
Meanwhile your high blood pressure also should be treated with antihypertensive medication.....
Take low salt diet ....
The dose of levothyroxine adjusted according to TSH level of blood .....
Further comment can be given if you provide your thyroid report and dosage of drug .
Take care ...
Advise : physician consultation..
