Sweat: Could be that or your thyroid. Review with your doctor.

No: The only med you list for BP is Aldactone and that wouldn't cause it. An overdose of synthroid (thyroxine) could - has your TSH been checked (blood sample). Most likely, it's physiologic (normal response to overheating). Production of perspiration and dilation of blood vessels (red face) is our body's way to dissipate heat and regulate temperature.
