What Causes Hot Flashes When Diagnosed With Hypothyroidism?

I took my temperature and it is 96.4, but I am having a hot flash. Is this normal? I was diagnosed a month ago with Hashimoto s Hypothyroidism. I am 49 and have had hypothyroidism since age of 9 and have been taking thyroid medicine ever since. Should I be concerned enough to go to the emergency room?
