Hi,

Sorry for your loss. There is no need to worry. Hot flashes with chest discomfort in a 40 year old female is commonly a peri menopausal symptom. However, it can only be safely diagnosed after evaluating more important causes like heart diseases. Consult your GP and get a cardiac evaluation. If everything turns normal, the symptoms are presumed to be peri menopausal, which can be easily managed with some vitamins and drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vaddadi Suresh
