Recently I told my therapist that I have been feeling extremely cold for no reason at all. It will be 74 degrees in my house and it feels like 64 to me, generally every evening. Also sometimes I get really hot in the morning after I eat breakfast and get nightsweats if I eat after 5:00pm.
She told me that stress hormones could be reponsible produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. Does anyone out there know anything about stress hormones and the symptoms of an imbalance?
I am not old enough to be peri-menopausal. However I did have my OBGYN do a blood test to check for this. It came back normal. I do not know which hormone levels they checked.
