What Causes Hot Flashes Like Heat In Body Temperature And Sweating?
Question: From the past few days I am experiencing increased heat in the body, kind of hot flashes. The heat kind of originates in the stomach, heat wave kind of and after that I have sweating and after that due to perspiration I feel cold. I have been on a high protein diet including 18 to 20 eggs per week and chicken. I also drink green tea. I got myself checked and my blood pressure readings were normal. What can it be? I don't have any headaches or palpitations. I am 28 years old.
