Sweating and anxiety

For the past year or so I've been sweating really bad, mainly on my face, it doesn't matter where I am, all of a sudden i will get a hot flush and start sweating. I also get anxious for no reason which makes me start to sweat even more :(. I've been hypo for 9 years and I'm guessing its down to that, it's really frustrating. Anyone else gone through this?

I having a blood test soon, haven't had my levels checked in 6 months. I'm only 29 so I hope the hot flushes aren't due to the menopause :/

Please post your current thyroid hormone levels, with reference ranges, so we can determine if you might be over medicated.

Depending on your age, you might also be entering peri-menopause or menopause and sweating/hot flashes are a very common symptom of both of those.

Anxiety can be a symptom of, both, over and under medication.
