Excessive Head Sweating From Humidity

Updated

Extreme bout's of excessive head sweating, vertigo, nausea, dizziness affiliated from high humidity. Have problems with chronic sinusitis, & bronchitis. Was taking levothyroxine for 5 yrs and had no energy, etc, etc. Recently switched to Amour Thyroid. Sweating comes on more suddenly with high humidity. 59 yr female, recent non smoker (25 month's non) after smoking for 35 yrs. Altogether with the attacks comes room spinning where I feel the need to curl up in the fetal position, nausea, excessive head sweating, dry mouth, and a feeling of narcolepsy. After 10 to 20 minutes of wiping my head it seems to subside. High humidity brings about sweating almost immediately, then hot/cold sweats on the the chest and back area.

Hello, Pam! How are you?

Those can all be side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, weight loss, and trouble sleeping.

How long have you been taking it, now? Things should improve in a few weeks, once your body gets used to it.

Thank you so much. The symptoms seem to have subsided, but could also be that there hasn't been a lot of humidity lately. Other symptoms I had when I was taking the levothyroxine are gone. Daily headaches, hair loss, sleeping problems.
