Hot flashes from hyperthyroidism how to control?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thyroid blockers: With hyperthyroidism, treating the thyroid disorder should also help the hot flashes. At age 52 you may also be experiencing hot flashes from menopause. If your doctor agrees, low-dose estrogen gives the best chance of controlling the symptoms. Ask your gynecologist what your options are.

Beta blockers: If your symptoms are from menopause, estrogen, ssri's or Clonidine may help. If they are due to hyperthyroidism, beta blockers can help and lower an accelerated heart rate. However, ultimately you need to talk with your endocrinologist about a definitive therapy for your hyperthyroidism such as radioactive iodine or antithyroid drugs.
