I have an underactive thyriod an on 100mg levothyroxin, does anyone else suffer with night sweats. Everynight.

[sasha31]

I have been on levothyroxin for 3yrs. Starting when I was pregnant, 2nd pregnancy I go up to 125mg but back down after to 100mg an my levels r normal. But im having night sweats everynight an was wondering if anyone else suffers with it. Im 34 an had a baby 9mnth ago.

Hi sasha I sometimes take more than my prescription (Not a practice I'm recommending) when I'm up against it, which technically makes me over replaced and slightly hyper. When I do this I suffer badly with night sweats.

Your results may be in the normal range but maybe it's not your body's preferred level, get copies of your ACTUAL results there may be room for adjustment of your meds

Definitely get a print-out of your thyroid gland blood test results, as TTlady suggests. You must put the the ranges too as labs differ. We need enough medication to make us feel better. I did have night sweats when on levothyroxine but you may need a slight increase.

Please go and see your go. My brother (diabetic) started having nightly sweats, thought it was the diabetes, didn't occur it might not be related, but in fact it was lymphoma. Please just rule out anything serious, its too easy to blame an existing condition.

I had night sweats followed by agonising cramp(dehydration i assume caused the cramp) when on combination t3 and t4. Dr S increased my meds and they went away having said that I woke at 6 am this morning with one but as I feel hypo I think I need an increase
