What Causes Hot Flashes Post Cardiac Ablation?
In February 2017 I had a heart ablasion procedure due to a rapid heart beat occurrence (266 bpm). The procedure was successful, but I am having hot flashes daily. Could this be related to the ablasion? I am 70 years old so I know it is not menopause. Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Catheter ablations are usually very safe procedures and do not cause hot flashes on face. However, if you are taking any medications like aspirin after the ablation procedure, then it may be causing it.
I suggest you meet your cardiologist and skin specialist for the same.
Hope this helps. If any other queries, do let me know. Will be glad to help you out.
