What Causes Itching Sensation On The Skin While Sleeping?
Question: In case my question was not clear, for the past week, during the late day, after sunset and into the night when sleeping, I feel itchy and flushed. Affects me in the face and upper body.
Brief Answer:
Hormone depletion
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HelathcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The mentioned symptoms seem to be due to hormone depletion which is often encountered in post-menopausal women. If that is the case, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should provide relief. You need to see your gynecologist for the same.
About the dietary regimen, it would be advisable to get a diet chart custom designed for you by a dietician.

I have been using an estrogen/progesterone patch for years and can advise it is not a hormone issue.
Since my nose is running slightly and ears are also itching, I am diagnosing myself with a seasonal allergy which will abate when the weather cools down over the weekend. I have never had allergies but very common in nyc so gong with that, short of blood work.
Maybe you should put me on staff -
I will get back to you tomorrow.
Thank you.
