niacin hot flashes

I am a 65yo F with chronic hot flashes not helped by bio-identical bi-est treatment. I am also being treated for hypothyroidism. Any suggestions for what is causing these hot flashes/night sweats?

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.

By contrast, slow-release niacin preparations reduce the hot-flush effect by releasing niacin over an extended period of 12 hours or longer. Most of these preparations are unsafe and I do not recommend them. “No-flush” niacin preparations, such as inositol hexaniacinate and nicotinamide, are widely sold as niacin alternatives that do not cause hot flushes. In my experience, however, they simply do not work. In other words, no flush, no effect.

lalapple--hot flashes feel more like a niacin rush to me (a surge of heat that runs through my body). what you described sounds more like a panic attack (more adrenalin based). PegOnPeg--black cohash is one of those herbs that's got liver warnings.

I get nauseous and dizzy after I eat and sometimes I get headaches and hot flashes (my ears turn red and get hot). Anyone ever experience anything like this?

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.

that idea might make you forget about the hot flashes! Seriously, I hope you find the cause, try to relax, stress is bad for the heart.

I want to know if this causes hot flashes with normal glucose levels at the time? Or with high glucose levels? I get hot flashed quite frequently and my temp rises. Sometimes up to 99.1, other times lower. I am a male so menopause is out. I am on Humalog and Lantus for insulin. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I got hot flashes first trimester. Now at almost 20 weeks I wake up every time in a full on sweat.

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!
