I'm sorry that you have these symptoms. I have them too. I live in Florida and want to move as I cannot stand the heat.
I had a bad surgical procedure that left with me PTSD--that was in 2016 and I did not even know I still had it until I needed more surgery in 2019. I ended up having horrific hot flashes (I'm in my 70's, and did not have them before). My primary doctor said they were a reaction to the fear of the surgery and should go away shortly, but they didn't. It was a vascular doctor who told me that he had seen this before and spoke to my primary doctor about prescribing an anti depressant. I started with 60mg of Duloxetine released capsules once a day, and now take it twice a day. Timing is important. if I don't take the med early enough I can have the water dripping off my face, sometimes accompanied by a hot flash.
You are not alone! I had it during the big freeze as well. The sweating is crazy, my arms will start to tingle then all of a sudden I'll just start sweating. Anywhere, comfortable setting, not hot, sitting doing nothing and no stressful situations.
I also smell like something is burning.
That is not so constant.
I asked my doc for a referral for an endocrinologist. I was refused. Gotta stop the madness since I never sweat before. Thanks for sharing take care.
