Hormone Medicine

I have been on hormone replacement medication for some time now, years, and about a month ago I was taken off it, was told to just quit not to wean myself off them. at first it wasn't so bad but I am having what I think is hot flashes, I have had them many years ago so I know what they feel like but all of a sudden my face gets so hot and I am sweating, this seems to be happening a lot. should I try to get back on them or not.
my OBGYN  I had in TX. ( went to her for over 10 yrs.) would not have taken me off them. (moved to OK.).

Hello,
These symptoms can be due hormonal imbalance or hyperhidrosis. Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormone levels checked. If the symptoms persist then chronic infections by getting a complete blood profile and a hormonal profile needs to be done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
