Sweating + Overheating
Hi! I’m 22ftm, 5’10”, I don’t know my weight (recovered from an ED, which also might be related to this, unsure.) but I would guess around 150lbs maybe?
I’ve been struggling for ~3 years with:
Excessive sweating, easily overheating for no good reason, random heat flashes, weight gain (despite diet/exercise, which could be unrelated and normal, but either way very uncomfortable.)
I’ve asked doctors, nautropaths, and nutritionists and none have known what is going on. I’ve gotten thyroid tests, cortisol tests, hormone levels checked, all normal.
Medications:
- Venlafaxine – switched from Lexapro (thought it was the cause, but no change)
- Dextroamphetamine (ADHD)
- Testosterone (trans man, stable levels)
Lifestyle:
- Active (strength training, cardio, 10K+ steps/day)
- Hydrated (96+ oz water + electrolytes daily)
- Diet: pescatarian, (mostly) gluten-free, high protein, balanced carbs/fats
- No fever/infection symptoms
Impact:
- Ruins confidence and ability to concentrate
- Worsens anxiety/brain fog
- Disrupts sleep (night sweats)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m sorry if anything is formatted wrong or if I missed a rule, I’m on mobile and I don’t use Reddit often. Thank you.
