What Causes Hot Flashes And Fatigue?
I am a male 63 years old. For the past four months I have 8-10 hot flashes a day. All hours day and night. I use testosterone gel daily. I have a lot of stress in my life and take several meds for high blood pressure, back pain, levothyroxine, and a fib. My recent blood work, thyroid n testosterone level have returned normal. The hot flashes last five mins. I get a little weak and have moderate sweating. Afterwards I get cold and tired. Then feel fine
