Hello,
Have you had a cardiac workup? Also, are you on Prednisone? Your rheumatologist can do some blood work and examine you to see if you are in a flare. Prednisone can make you have hot flashes. Hormones play a role too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priya Sadanandan
