I am 38 years old, have been diagnosed with cervical dysplasia, herniated disks few years ago. I felt flu-like symptoms last week and sore throat, then got migraines for 3 days. thought I as getting better but getting hot flashes every 1/2 hr. First I thought it might be from the raw ginger I was eating but haven t eaten any for almost a week. When I look up what can cause hot flashes besides menopause, I get really worried about the answers!
