Hi there, I've been on WP thyroid for about two years. I'm self medicating, so have no blood results. I'm feeling really good and I normally go with how my body feels. As I say I feel good, but I have been having sweats. At night and during the day. I'm a 65 year old female. Can anybody shed any light on this?

Maybe you're a bit overmedicated. Why not do a private test with Blue Horizon or Medichecks to see how your levels are? It's usually advised to do your own tests when self medicating if your GP isn't on board.

Tard,

You really need annual thyroid tests to check you aren't overmedicated as high FT3 can cause atrial fibrillation and osteoporosis.

Sweats are commonly due to thyroid overmedication or menopause.
