Hello and welcome to HCM,
At the age of 67, I assume that you have undergone menopause.
Menopause leads to reduction in hormones like estrogen and progesterone in body.
Reduction in female hormones leads to symptoms of hot flushes and hot spells.
Hormone replacement therapy is required to replenish the reduction in hormones which is causing hot flushes and hot spells.
I suggest you to consult a gynecologist for prescription of hormonal replacement therapy.

Thanks and take care
