Hi Dana,
Thanks for writing in.
It looks like you are suffering from hot flashes. There are several things that can lead to this. These include an overfunctioning thyroid gland ( especially if you cant sleep, are losing weight and eating too much), an
estrogen dip, panic attacks, consuming too much red meat and excessive consumption of white sugar, energy drinks or spicy food,
smoking and drinking.
I would suggest the following:
a. Just relax and try some deep breathing or
meditation whenever you start feeling hot. This will help if the symptoms are due to a panic attack.
b. Modify your dietary habits to avoid things which could trigger such symptoms
c. see a physician if you have been unduly anxious, are losing weight, eating too much as we would need to evaluate for
hyperthyroidism.
There is no medicine you can take as such as of now. I would rather have you d some deep breathing or
yoga when you have these symptoms. They should definitely help.
Hope this helps
