Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Excessive sweating can be a sign of hyperthyroidism.

If you were my patient I will suggest to do the thyroid tests (TSH, fT3 and fT4) to see if this symptom has a relationship with your actual thyroid gland function.

At the other side your actual symptoms can be due to menopause.In these cases your estrogen patches will be helpful.

If the thyroid tests will result normal than I suggest to consult physically a local endocrinologist for the right treatment that may be helpful to ease the symptoms of menopause.

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
