am treating it with Armour Thyroid, and feeling much better, I  still  
find myself sweating profusely when it's warm outside or when  I do  
any physical work outdoors (every day, actually).  >>>>
While Hyperthyroidism and Adrenal problems can both lead to sweating for  
relatively minor reasons, I frequently see this symptom in women who are low on  
estrogen and males who are low on testosterone.
 
A single blood test is not a good indicator of Adrenal Insufficiency which  
is quite common in people who have had long term Hypothyroidism or who have had 
 an especially bad case. 
 
And, unfortunately, too many doctors today would not recognize an estrogen  
or testosterone deficiency if they had one. As in all of Medicine, a good  
Diagnosis requires paying more attention to a good History (What  has been 
happening to the patient before they came to your office?) than to  a lab value being 
in some arbitrary range that was based on sick  people.
