What Causes Severe Sweating Along With Hot Flushes?

My husband is 61, in good shape 6 1 185 lbs. He is a carpenter. He has had easy bruising and bleeding in that his skin tears easily. What is bothering him is that the last month he has felt hot all the time and sweating excessively. As he has been a carpenter, out in all weather for 40 years, he is usually not hot or very sweaty even in 90+ degree weather. He has not smoked in 7 years. He has one drink a day, for the last 20 years. Before that he did sometimes drink beer excessively. Drink of choice now is one gin martini. Colonoscopy 11 mos ago negative for anything.

Hi,

I have gone through the medical history of your husband and understood your concerns.

Having severe sweating along with hot flushes that have been noticed recently, might be related to:
- hormonal problems especially when it comes to thyroid. Get further thyroid function test and thyroid ultrasound to check it out
- a thorough evaluation of his blood vessels and cardiac check is also advised
- monitor blood pressure and blood sugar levels
- a complete blood count and blood biochemistry tests advised for further evaluation

Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
