What Causes Fluctuations In The Body Temperature While Having Primary Hyperhidrosis?

My perceived temperature swings back and forth. When I am walking and its very cold, I will break into a sweat.At night heat wakes me up, and I am well past menopause.It is 24/7, and beyond irritating.I spend much of the day under a heated blanket, but 3-4 times per hour, I am suddenly boiling, throwing off the blanket.The cycle repeats. I have been diagnosed with primary hyperhidrosis.

Hi,

As per your history hyperhidrosis is not a disease of itself it is a symptom relates to many pathological disorders. So your main problem has a reason so if that reason is identified then your problem will be solved.

Investigations-;

1) Check your body temperature every 6 hours and record it upto 72 hours

2) Full blood count with differential and a Paracheck

3) Do kidney function test and fasting blood sugar and ESR, Do RF/ASO test

4) Do T3, T4, TSH for thyroid and pituitary

5) Do ultrasound whole abdomen

6) Do ECG So nothing to be worried do what i told it is a minor hormonal imbalance.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
