Avatar f tn Yep, I get hot flashes and then pass out. My doctor said its due to dehydration! But sometimes it happens when I feel super hydrated so Idk.
290867 tn?1333569278 hi there, i also had dizzy/near fainting spells and hot and cold flashes over the first few weeks. i've also had heart palpitations (later on, in my 3rd trimester with my 1st pregnancy). you can check your blood pressure and drink gatorade and make sure you have enough salt in your diet if low blood pressure is the issue. i found the near fainting spells went away on their own though.
Avatar f tn For the last month and a half or so I have been getting serious hot flashes (day and night) and in the last two weeks or so I have also been getting dizzy/fainting episodes. I have went to the doctor, they ran tests and told me that they would get back to me if something turned up. An FYI, I got the H1N1 vaccine about two weeks ago and had moderate side effects (shivering the day of and very bad joint pain, mild lethergy, & slight fever the second day).
Avatar f tn I went to a shopping center today and drank a bottle of water before i entered the store... not even a half hour later i got really hot and dizzy and felt like i was going to faint... is this normal or what can i do to make it stop??
Avatar f tn s have some of these types of things. The hot and cold is the classic hot flashes that people talk about. Yes, I get that a bit. I sleep with a fan directly on me. There are supplements women take that can help with hot flashes. I'm unfamiliar with brain zaps and that isn't something I hear people complain of. They can check her hormone levels to see how far she is into menopause to help decide if it is affecting things. It stinks getting older is all I can say. Body changes.
Avatar f tn Since December 2013 at least once a week I have been experiencing hot sweats with dizziness, I find if I take some clothing off and sit/lie down after about 15mins - 30mis the symptoms pass but if I try and push myself to carry on with what I'm doing I then get ringing in the ears, blurred vision and eventually black out which has happened twice. I can't seem to find a pattern to when this happens as comes out of the blue. Does anyone know what this could be?
Avatar f tn She gets red in the face, sweats, becomes very hot and faint. What could be causing this? She is also complaing of feeling faint and having a stomach ache.....

Avatar n tn I am 8 months pregnant and i have been having symptoms of fainting, hot and cold flashes, weakness and numbing and tingly in my hands and arms! what could this possibly mean?
Avatar f tn says it works great on reducing hot flashes. If this is so maybe I will cut back on HRT for hot flashes. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Pregnancy night sweats are similar to hot flashes, although they take place during the night as a woman sleeps as opposed to hot flashes that occur during the day. Night sweats during pregnancy, which is also known as "nocturnal hyperhydrosis" during pregnancy occur because the body´s temperature gauge begins to malfunction as a result of hormonal imbalance that occurs during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I had hysterectomy in my 30s in mid 40s was having hot flashes and md put me on estrogen AND started treating Hashimoto. I developed numerous breast lumps went to MDA and found only cyst caused by the estrogen. The MD there said my hot flashes were not menopause they were from the thyroid.
Avatar f tn She had to have a totally historictimy(sp) at 24-26 because she had cancer, and that through her in to early menopause and so she dealt with the hot flashes for years (she is 51 now) and she finally went to the doctor and it was her body being so out of wack so the doctor put her on some hormones to help balance her out. You might also go to your local herbs store to see if they have anything that might help you out natural but always consult with your doctor.
Avatar f tn I had a pacemaker put in about 2 months ago after ungoing 2 ablation procedures for WPW. I have been experience hot flashes during the night and also a few during the day ever since. I am wondering if this could possibly be a side effect of the pacemaker or would it be happening anyway due to my age (52) and menopause.

1026267 tn?1257591273 I think it has something to do with the thyroid thing. I was experiencing the same thing. I had a TT 3 years ago and started having hot flashes off and on. Yes, I'm 43 so you'd think it could be menopause but I went to my gyno and had tests and it's not. They come and go with me. I'll have them all day long for 2 weeks straight and then not all for months. I'm on 125 mcg of synthroid 3 days a week and 137 for 4. I also take 5 mcg of Cytomel everyday.
Avatar n tn The night sweats stopped almost immediately, and the hot flashes became fewer and less severe. Sometimes I feel a little flushed, like one is coming on, but then it just seems to fizzle. The pain in my legs and breasts has also subsided, and I’m feeling great. The best part is that I’m actually able to get a good night’s sleep again!
Avatar f tn You asked about hot flashes and B6 toxicity. All I can tell you is I started having hot flashes and B6 symptoms the very same month I went into menopause. It was like my body chemistry changed and I could no longer metabolize the B6. My hot flashes have subsided now with the help of taking herbs prescribed by a dr of oriental medicine and accupuncture. Like you I tried conventional methods to reduce my hot flashed but nothing helped until I found a licensed dr of oriental medicine.
7892775 tn?1395673991 I've been experiencing hot flashes almost 2 weeks now. They keep coming and going day and night. It doesn't matter if I'm sitting in AC I still get them and it's notjust ffeeling hot but it's also sweating. Has anyone else experienced this?
9704378 tn?1553726192 If you have any other symptoms, get checked for any virus or other sickness, but just hot flashes is usually normal. I have them, mostly at night, and our bedroom is in the basement where it's nice and freezing. Just stay hydrated and hopefully they let up. They should go away post pregnancy. Good luck!
Avatar f tn No your not I sweat all day and take cold showers. I feel so hot I drink cold water and stand in front of the fan. Im 32 weeks and at night i sweat so much even though I have all my fans on.
