What To Do If Having Hot Flashes And Fast Heart Beats?
Hello. Ive been having random heat flashes during school. I ve googled it and it says it might be due to anxiety or stress. I ve been having these heat flashes for a while now and they occur out of nowhere. My heart starts beating fast and I feel a wave of hotness rush over me to the point where I get red.

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a panic disorder.
A thyroid gland dysfunction can not be excluded either.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
