I've had hot flashes when med levels are too high also there is a connection between TSH and estrogen levels so one might throw the other off.

I checked your age on your profile. If you are a very active and fit person your hot flashes could still be just normal for your hormones. Interactions with other meds may have something to do this it too.

What are your last tests results?
