After birth

Vmp
I has my baby about 4 months ago -

Is it normal to still have night sweats? The are not soaking more like a damp shirt collar at night.
I did not breastfeed only formula fed.

I also think I am losing weight but unintentionally. Could I have developed hyperthyroidism after givin birth?

No it is not normal to have all you are having. I suspect you have a thyroid disease brought on by pregnancy. Unfortunately it is more common than people realise. Go to the doctor and get full thyroid tests, these include TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and thyroid antibodies, known as Tg Ab, TPO, Ab and also a test called TSI. I suspect you have Hyperthyroidism.
