I Need Help [Other]

I'm not sure if this is the right community to post this in (please direct me to the correct one if I'm wrong), but I'm in desperate need of some advice or help. I'm a 17-year-old male experiencing things you'd usually see a woman going through menopause deal with. I have extreme hot flashes and drip in sweat at random times (and usually when I sleep), have very noticeable mood swings, what I believe to be is a swollen thyroid at times, and random panic attacks. It is very difficult for me to lose weight and I sometimes feel like I gain it without even doing anything. Doing some research I found that the hot flashes may have something to do with a testosterone deficiency. I also think I may have Hashimotos disease especially because my mother and grandmother are diagnosed and take medication for it. However, upon complaining about to my doctor he simply said I may have just had a sore throat and that's why it was swollen. My mother doesn't seem to take me seriously despite my constant complaints about the issue. I only ever find forums and articles about my symptoms directed towards women but never towards men. I feel so brushed aside and hopeless at this point. No one takes me seriously and I feel like I can't get an answer no matter where I go, so I'm begging for any information that might be useful. Thank you.
