Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Increased sweating and heat intolerance can be due to hyperthyroidism. Please let me know your latest thyroid function tests. If you are still hyperthyroid on medications you should consult your doctor and have your medication dose adjusted or try for a permanent treatment like radio iodine or surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
With warm regards,
Dr Ajish TP (MD,DM)
