constantly feeling hot?

Question

For the past couple of days, I have been feeling extremely warm. Not just comfortable, to the point where I feel like I'm suffocating from the heat. The house temp is set at 65*, and yet it is in the 40's outside and I am constantly warm. I have PCOS, hypothyroidism and I am insulin resistant. I am on Yasmin 28 (21 active pills, 7 inert tablets), levothyroxine 25 mg, centrum multi vitamin and Metformin HCL 500 MG. There is absolutely no chance of pregnancy. I have had lots of headaches, and nausea, although I've been under a lil stress as of late. I don't think stress would cause such intense feelings of warmth though. I am also only 21 years of age, so could it be early menopause? What is wrong with me,and should I see a doctor?

Answer 1

I assume you mean 25 mcg levothyroxine. This definitely sounds like a hormonal imbalance possibly related to PCOS or thyroid or even adrenal imbalance (had that checked?). With multiple hormonal deficiencies, you could certainly be at risk for premature menopause. But feeling hot is not necessarily indicative that you are menopausal. Your doctor can run blood tests to check all of the hormones and then possibly recommend further tests based on those results or adjust your meds. However, even with the best adjustment possible you may still feel overly hot at times as it is not possible to replicate the perfect hormonal balance that nature ideally provides. We just replace the best we can. Good luck.

Answer 2

Have you considered the possibility that you caught a virus and you have a fever? It is the cold and flu season, you know.

Menopause at 21? Not hardly.
You might want to see a shrink about your hypochondria, though.

Answer 3

Have you tried drinking a lot of water. Maybe you are dehydrated, and just need some water.

Answer 4

Answer 5
