- Your doctor: warm skin and heavy sweating with weight loss, a racing heart or trembling. A blood test checks the thyroid.

I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. This is self-education. Every dose and strength on this page is the one a trial or a label used, quoted from it. It is not a prescription. Talk to a physician who has your history before any medicine or procedure. Night sweats with weight loss or fever need a doctor first.
