What Causes Profuse Sweating While On Levothyroxine?

Hello, I have hair/scalp that smells like perm solution. I have not had a perm in years. I also do have night sweats, am 61, take 125 mcgs. of levothyroxine. I started noticing the smell about 6 weeks ago. Been on Levothyroxine for over 10 years. Have lots of migraine headaches also. Thanks
