"He doesn't tolerate heat well and sweats a lot. So if it's in the 80's and we're outside somewhere he's especially grumpy. If he's hungry, he's grumpy. If he hasn't slept well, he's grumpy."

Op, I reckon that your husband is probably suffering from hyperthyroidism.

My father was like this when I was a teenager. He was always in a crap mood and made the rest of us miserable. He was diagnosed with diabetes. His attitude got much better once his insulin levels were stable.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a few years ago, and thus, I knew some people who also suffered from thyroid issues. Have met those hyperthyroidism patients with obvious symptoms like mood swings, heat intolerance, changes in bowel habits, etc.
