Talk to your doctor: Temperature instability, which can be seen in hypothalamic dysfunction, isn't the same as feeling hot or cold. It means that core temperature isn't stable. Some have unexplained fevers which alternate with low body temps. It is very unusual and not typically seen as an only symptom of hypothalamic damage.

Hormonal studies : Assessment of the hormones that are regulated by the hypothalamus such as growth hormone. Determine normalcy of menstrual cycles. Thyroid function tests. Could have head MRI if warranted.
