Usually feminising HRT decreases sweating, however as with all things trans medicine it can vary a lot by person.

especially in the first few months, it can take a bit for the hormone levels to settle in and your body to get used to them.
If you have the option, getting your blood levels checked every few months can be helpful in the beginning to see whether you might need a higher dose to get into the desired ranges, but I feel like in the end, you feeling comfortable with how the levels feel for you and the changes is the most important thing.
Last time I checked I had 70 estrogen level but dont remember the unit 😅, but it was like quite good
That's probably pg/ml, in which case the "official" target is 100-200. The more important question is if your T is suppressed, which is <50 ng/dl.
Could be hot flashes? I know some ladies who felt hotter at a coller temperature after hrt. Like they used to hang out in 90 degree weather and now only can tolerate low 80s. It's only an issue cause they live in a hot place.
Other than checking with an endo it could just be your new normal with a different hormone profile.
