Hot flashes

I am something like 5 years post menopause and I am still getting mild hot flashes several times a day if I have the most minor stress. Women post menopause, does this happen to you? Wonder if I should make an appointment with my gynecologist.

Hi Emily. My last period was October 2011. Unfortunately I have to say the hot flashes seem to be getting worse. I know some of my meds can cause sweating particularly the Amitriptyline but to just be still and suddenly feel like my head is melting I think is hormonal. There is another recent post titled "Sweating" that you might try to find that had a number of responses. I hope we both get over these soon.

I still have them with stress or with the slightest elevation in ambient temp over my comfort zone - over 76 f and I'm glowing red like somebody slapped my face.

Mine are starting to ease up finally! I have used red clover extract with decent results, better than anything else I tried!

Hydocodone definitely causes sweating itching and hot flashes.

I still get them and I'm in my 70's. I guess a little push in hormones isn't all bad. I had a dr. tell me she had them also, after 60! It's not so cut and dried.

I passed menopause about 5 years ago. I still get flashes if
my stress level is bad or I'm working on a panic attack. I hate that effect especially if I am out in public. So much fun to be moi....
