What Causes Hot Flashes Followed By Inflammation Of The Body?

I began experiencing heat all over my body and finally went into the bedroom to remove my slacks, and my legs are all red, as is the rest of my body. This is something I've never experienced. I had spaghetti for dinner, glass of wine an hour ago and just now had a small dish of fresh custard. Is there anything I need to do? Female, young 74, active with daily exercise, eat only fresh foods, no processed foods. Great health (normally).

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hot flashes followed by inflammation of the body . Well the exact cause of hot flashes isn't known, but it's likely related to several factors. These include changes in reproductive hormones and in your body's thermostat , which becomes more sensitive to slight changes in body temperature. I would suggest you to consult endocrinologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor my prescribe hormonal therapy along with anti depressants and gabapentine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
