1211508 tn?1343079605 Hot flashes in menopause I get. But I'm 38, relatively fit, and lately I've been getting hot flashes on occasion. I also get sweaty/warm very easily, even when doing dishes in my 73 degree house. If it's 90 degrees outside, lol, forget about it. I can't take it. Other symptoms....for the past few weeks I've been getting daily dizzy/lightheaded spells (not usually corresponding with the hot flashes but they sometimes are).
Avatar f tn Hello All, I'm a 52 year old woman who is just about to start menopause. I've had 3 irregular periods this year but no bleeding in the last 2 months. In the last 3 weeks I've had hot flashes approximately every 1/2 hour night and day. Is this normal? My doctors just seem to turn a deaf ear to any mention of hot flashes. I was wondering if they could be a side effect of Nexium which I started recently, but I stopped taking it for 3 days now and still getting the flashes.
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 f tn Yes! I'm 9 weeks and typically a cold person but every once in a while I will get really hot! It usually happens at work or in bed when I'm sleeping!!
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 I'm 44 and going into week 3 of constant hot flashes that seem to last all day. They'll subside for an hour or so and then continue. Although sometimes it feels like they never end! I started getting hot flashes about 3 years ago and they seemed to be seasonal, mostly in winter but last year I didn't get any and suddenly these last three weeks they came on full blast.
Avatar f tn It helps me so I am staying on it and have been on it for 3 years.... so added benefit to mental sanity is diminished hot flashes!!! LOL!!!! I am 18 days post surgery and feeling much better but still sore and easily tired.... Idiot Dr. sent me back to work tomorrow.... will see how it goes!!!
Avatar n tn Many women suffer from hot flashes caused by these medications but can find some relief when they avoid hot and spicy foods, caffeinated drinks,alcohol and smoking and having lots of fans in the house...LOL. I hope that your wife will soon consult with her Oncologist and see what can be done to relieve her discomfort. All the best to both of you...
Avatar f tn I am in full blown menopause, night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings and now I am having trouble concentrating. It is affecting my job, to the point that I am in jeopardy of losing my job. I took a round of hormones with no relieve. What I am looking for is something natural.

Avatar n tn I am 51 and began taking Effexor XR 75 mg as prescribed by my physician to help reduce the hot flashes. I've taken this same level of Rx for 3 years. It has helped to reduce the hot flashes, however, I have other side effects that concern me. I am now trying to wean myself off the Effexor and the side effects are significant (vertigo, confusion...) and the hot flashes seem worse than ever! Is there anything I can do to reduce or eliminate these without antidepressants?
518001 tn?1212419235 I'm new here and wondering what's helped each of you with your hot flashes? I'm currently using Effexor and Progesterone Cream. Thank you!

1655526 tn?1330655629 So im not crazy after all.. I have told doctors and other people that fish and omega 3 bother my arrthymia. Noone believed me but I know what happens and it isnt pretty. I stay away from it. I did find an article once that said its good for the heart but people with arrythmias it can make them go into life threating ones.
Avatar n tn Well about April I started to get hot flashes not very many but know they are getting so bad, I feel so sick to my tummy when they happen and I get them up to five times a day give or take. I quess I am wondering if this is normal or are my ovaries going bad also?
Avatar f tn Definitely, 90% I can't have my heat on in my car and have to have my window down cause I get so warm and the warmest it's been here this winter is 40 degrees, most the time it's below 0. I can't even wear more than a tank and shorts at home. I don't so much get the flashes back and forth mostly just extremely warm now I'm 16 weeks.

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?
443862 tn?1237999439 But I feel the heat rising up my body and up my chest and then up my face and my arms go all tingly and my face goes tingly and I feel like a quick gasp in my chest and then I feel the heat! Oh, and I got my period today so it is strange that I am getting these hot flashes isn't it? The heat started last Friday every night in bed , then Tuesday I got my period.... the other symptom that I would like to ask if it is menopause or not is that I am SLEEPING all the time!
