Is It Normal To Have Hot Flashes And Jaw Pain While Undergoing Surgical Menopause In An Arthritis Patient?

I aM 38 years old. Going through surgical menopause. Otherwise healthy although overweight. Normally have low bp. Have seen a cardiologist in the last year had full bloodwork up and physical all was fine. I do have tmj.. a bulging disc in my back arthritis in my neck and it is degenerating. That all being said I have severe hot flashes.. sometimes they start in my chest or neck and go up into my face. Is it normal for a woman to sometimes have jaw pain with the hot flashes? Or rather is it a common complaint for some women?

Hi,

Hot flash is common in women after having menopause whether surgical or natural. It is due to hormonal imbalance and body takes time to adjust to it. If it is severe then hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is given. As you have mentioned that you are diagnosed with TMJ disorder, jaw pain is due to it. Pain can be reduced by taking analgesic or by treatment of cause of it.
