HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Heat intolerance can be related to different causes , one of these is high levels of thyroid hormone but this would normally be associated with weight loss not gain so other causes would have to be considered.
In some persons excess sweating may be due to : diabetes, side effect of medication, alcohol, heart disease, infections.
If it continues, then you may need to see your doctor for assessment which would include examination and blood tests.
I hope this helps
