I get these hot flushes, but it's not a sweaty kind of flush. It just feels like a boiling hot radiator, and it seems to happen around the same time each day. Is this menopausal or could it be related to the levothyroxine that I am taking?

It could be either, but do check what you are eating beforehand, or what you are doing, as adrenal stress can also trigger flushes.

If it is happening at the same time every day, then it may be due to your diet. Sugary foods and caffienated drinks can cause flushes. As can eating or drinking too little, which can lead to low blood sugar levels.

The best thing is to check with your doctor as well, to see if the level of your medication is OK.
