Hello,
Hot flashes are commonly related to menopause.
The pain in the arm can be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder.
I suggest taking anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest physical therapy.
If the symptoms continue I recommend seeing an orthopedist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
