Your symptoms seem to be related to menopause symptoms. They are very common during menopause. Some suggestions that I can give are: - Keep cool. Slight increases in your body's core temperature can trigger hot flashes - Hot and spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, and alcohol can trigger hot flashes - Relax - Don't smoke - Lose weight
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
