Can Levothyroxine cause Sweating and Hot Flashes?

I am taking 75mg of levothyroxine in the morning before breakfast. Have low thyroid (my dad had it so I guess it could be inherited). Been taking levothyroxine for years. I have been diagnosed with bipolar depression, have trouble sleeping unless taking seriously, constipation, dry skin, brittle nails and pruny fingers all day long. Would seeing an endocrinologist help or any other suggestions anyone could offer?

@sls1 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Hypothyroidism can definitely be hereditary and some of your symptoms are indicative of low thyroid levels. I agree with @dorisena that an endocrinologist can address alternative avenues for relieving symptoms and balancing out your levels.

Have you had any problem with puffiness or weight gain at all?
