Over the last few months I ve had problemss with being very hot or very cold suddenly switching from one to the other. It s not the same as a hot flash. I ve also felt very thirsty all of a sudden. Like urgently thirsty. What could be causing this?

Hi,
All these symptoms can be a part of PMS (post menopausal syndrome), caused by hormonal changes occurring after menopause. Hot and cold feelings are because of vasomotor disturbances associated with PMS This may benefit from HRT (hormone replacement therapy) with estrogen or drugs like SSRIs. Kindly discuss with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
