You’re 54 years old and you’re having hot flashes. Does a link between hot flashes and vascular health mean you’ll have heart disease later in life? Research published in the journal Menopause last year studied women between the ages 40 to 60 and it raised the question of whether hot flashes could indicate heart disease in the future. But Dr. Rekha Mankad, directior of the Mayo Clinic Women’s Heart Clinic, says the study identifies one marker among many. Still it’s important to let people know about the symptoms. She emphasisays the study didn’t look at heart disease directly but that the research was about hot flashes and vascular health. There seems to be an association that having hot flashes can make your arteries act more abnormal.. More health and medical news on the Mayo Clinic News Network. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/.

Are you experiencing your own personal heat wave? Hot flashes…also known as power surges…are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. They can occur during the day, at night and during what feels like the most inconvenient times. Learn how to manage hot flashes from Vanessa P. Haygood, MD, an Ob/Gyn in the Triad and member of the Cone Health Medical and Dental Staff.
Hot flashes are no joke when they leave you soaked in sweat and feeling dazed. Technically, hot flashes exaggerate how the body normally cools down: blood vessels dilate, letting more blood reach. Help me understand what is actually going on in my body during a hot flash. It feels like a lot is happening.
Your hypothalamus—the part of your brain responsible for regulating body temperature (along with appetite, sleep cycles and hormones)—detects hormonal shifts and goes on alert, thinking that you’re overheating. Let’s have a look at the series of events that cause a hot flash. Your brain thinks that your body is too hot, even if you are not. The process by which your body cools itself (sweating) is initiated.
Blood vessels dilate to allow your blood to reach the surface of your skin. Your skin temperature rises and you feel hot. Your body gets a sudden, intense surge of warmth; sometimes skin turns red and blotchy. Your skin temperature climbs, beginning at the top third of your body (your face, head and chest). Blood vessels begin to dilate.
Your body struggles to regulate and reduce its temperature and cool off by perspiring. While nobody actually knows the mechanism for a hot flash, we do know that there is an area in the brain called the hypothalamus that regulates body temperature. For whatever reason, during the transition through perimenopause and menopause, the hypothalamus sends signals that cause women to get hot.

Medically Reviewed by Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD. Last Update. Physiology of hot flashes Hot flashes are the most common symptom of the climacteric, although prevalence estimates are lower in some rural and non-Western areas. The symptoms are characteristic of a heat-dissipation response and consist of sweating on the face, neck, and chest, as well as peripheral vasodilation.
It’s a sudden feeling of heat and sometimes a red, flushed face and sweating. We don’t know exactly what causes them, but they may be related to changes in circulation. Hot flashes start when blood. A hot flash, or vasomotor flush, is when your brain mistakenly thinks your body is overheated and starts a chain reaction to try to cool it down.
This is probably caused by changes in hormone levels as you approach menopause.
Physiologically, the first and core event in a hot flash is a spontaneous increase in cutaneous blood flow that is usually accompanied by an increase in heart rate.

I’m going on 24 years of hot flashes and her description doesn’t even touch how miserable these things can be. The biggest help comes from bio identical hrt with small doses of testosterone and SSRI’s. Sweets and high carb meals make them especially severe and more frequent.

Stop believing that there is no cure or solution to Herpes virus. Of course there is a permanent cure for Herpes virus.

True but It’s also to do with magnesium deficiencies as well as other things, google Dr Carolyn Dean, on one of her you tubes she talks about magnesium and hot flushes as she had problems with hot flushes. As soon as I started using her products the hot flushes disappeared and I also used these natural patches which has helped me with lots of other health problems as well, phew no more horrible hot flushes. https://lifewave.com/1050897
To any women out there suffering from hot flashes and night sweats due to perimenopause:
Try “OMAD” (which means “one meal a day”) and eliminating caffeine and alcohol! It really does wonders. It took me about a week and now I have zero issues with hot flashes etc, it’s all GONE.
OMAD works for me (and I’m currently experimenting with TMAD, which means “two meals a day”), maybe it can help you too.
In my own experience fasting is amazing and incredibly beneficial.
But I recommend you do some research on it yourself before you try so you know what to expect and what happens in your body etc.
I’m not an expert and I don’t have any medical background, I’m just sharing what has worked for me so you have to do your own experimenting and research to find out what works for you.
And if it works for you too, consider ‘liking’ this comment or leave a comment on it so that other women can be inspired by your experiences as well!
Dr. Virginia San Miguel & Megan Bird have a very bad case of hormonal imbalance, yet teaching people about hormonal imbalance? They know the theory very well, alright, that’s about it
