I have hypothyroid desease, and began experiancing severe hot flashes and night sweats. I attributed it to age hormones, age, etc. doctor checked my thyroid again and immediated upped my meds (Lavoxol) from .1mg to .5mg and said (via phone conversation with his nurse) that the hot fl. and night sw. could be from my thyroid level.Why would hypothroid d. cause these symtoms, and what could result if my thy.condition doesn't improve?
