Hypothyroidsim: I assume you were diagnosed with an underactive thyroid? This is certainly possible given your low body temperature. Causes of low temperature include hypothyroidsm, low blood sugar, and malfunctioning adrenal glands.

Sweats: Are you taking too much thyroid supplement? These may be hot flashes due to estrogen deficiency. Discuss these possibilities with your physician or gynecologist who will order any appropriate tests and subsequent treatment.

Sweats: Could be hot flashes associated with menopause, Underactive thyroid will not cause such symptoms though overacting thyroids could.
