Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

After going through available details,you have recently suffered Urinary tract infection which is treated this is good that there is no infection now.

You have hot flashes due to menopause and taking estrogen cream for the same.

The hot feeling may be some side effects of antibiotics and analgesics you have taken during infection which can cause gastritis and cause burning sensation in chest.

You should see your physician and get examined if there is no infection and all the drugs are stopped. Hormonal imbalance as you have stopped estrogen may be started in low dose.

Headache and stiff neck may be independant form hot flashes. It could be muscle spasm in neck.

Hope this information helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
