Wow i could have written this! I am surprised to read so many people suffer from this symptom [hypothyroid/sweating] as it is the opposite of common symptoms. I just move or walk a bit and it's horrible. I am 60 and postmenopausal. I went out with family and at dinner I was sweating like a sumo wrestler. Running in my eyes. And it does not stop!! Very embarrassing, especially in public!! Sad.
I wake up everyday between midnight and 2am and im drenched from head to toe, Im basically a healthy person but this is affecting me mentally,seriously. Please advise.
Hi,
I have had hypothyroidism for 5 years and I have noticed in the last few months I am definitely sweating more in general. I never associated this with my condition so I was interested to read your question and everyone's answers. I really hope that this symptom I am experiencing does not get any worse! It's bearable at the moment, I would hate it to become noticable to other people!
I don't sweat when I'm pretty cold but I do fluctuate between cold and hot so I do sweat a lot. I'm the one always saying "is it warm in here or is it just me".
Every hour on the hour day and night with Hypo/Hashi/Peri menopausal:(
Thanks to everyone. I thought it was just me.
I'm having hot flashes and sweating a bit while I'm sitting here at work. It only started happening today, the same day I went for my first blood work since the RAI treatment heh. Guess I'm 'sweating' the results. :)
Especially at night when either hypo or hyper but much worse for me when hypo.
Before I knew I was hypo i would sweat with any activity..yep!! thought it was menopause/peri related..got on T4 and it did improve some.
Before, after, during meds, I sweat no matter what and I am Hypo.
The classic symptom that reads that hypo people have trouble sweating does not apply for me. I am the opposite. I sweat too much.
Sometimes I am very cold and my armpits are wet. It is disgusting but there is nothing that I can do about it. I have the sense that when I am feeling better on meds I actually sweat less, I mean like normal people.
Same here....hot and cold with both......but clammy sweating with hypo.
cold sweats and hot flashes combined for me.
