Hot flashes can hit you when you least expect them. Yes, that's how it often feels, and they rarely come at a convenient time. Suddenly, you feel heat rising from within, your skin becomes red and warm, and you may feel completely overwhelmed by the intense heat. Many women know this unpleasant experience all too well, and if you are one of them (or us), you know how frustrating it can be to deal with hot flashes in everyday life.
Perhaps you have experienced being in the middle of an important meeting and suddenly feeling the heat rising through your body. Or you wake up at night, drenched in sweat after a severe hot flash. Hot flashes can be both physically and mentally exhausting, but help is available.
What are hot flashes, and how do they feel?
A hot flash is a sudden feeling of intense heat that typically starts in the chest or face and spreads to the rest of the body. How does a hot flash feel? It varies from woman to woman, but many describe it as:
- A wave of heat washing over the body
- Sudden redness in the face and neck
- Heavy sweating, especially on the upper body
- Feeling of shortness of breath or tightness
- Heart palpitations or restlessness
- Subsequent feeling of coldness when the hot flash subsides
Hot flashes can last from a few seconds to several minutes, and their intensity can vary greatly. Some women experience mild hot flashes, while others are affected by severe attacks that can affect their entire daily life and overall quality of life.
Hot flashes not only during menopause
Although hot flashes are often associated with menopause, it is important to know that hot flashes do not only affect women during menopause. There are many other causes of hot flashes:
Hot flashes during pregnancy are very common. Hot flashes in pregnant women are caused by hormonal changes and increased blood flow. Many pregnant women experience hot flashes, especially in the second and third trimesters, when the body is working extra hard.
Other causes of hot flashes can be:
- Hormonal fluctuations in the menstrual cycle
- Stress and anxiety
- Medications and treatments
- Fever and infections
- Spicy foods and hot drinks
Night sweats - when sleep is disturbed
Night sweats can be particularly stressful because they disrupt your sleep and affect your energy the next day. Many women wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat and feeling extremely overheated.
Nighttime hot flashes can be caused by:
- Hormonal changes that affect the body's temperature regulation
- A warm bedroom or too many bedding layers
- Stress and worries from the day
- Alcohol or spicy foods before bedtime
- Synthetic nightwear materials that do not breathe
Hot flashes in the evening can be particularly bothersome as they can disrupt your preparation for sleep and make it difficult to calm down.
Hot flashes in the morning - a rough start to the day
Hot flashes in the morning can make it difficult to get the day off to a good start. Perhaps you wake up already overheated, or hot flashes hit you while you're getting ready for work. This may be due to:
- Natural hormonal fluctuations in the morning
- Stress about the day's tasks
- A hot shower or tight clothing
- A spicy breakfast or hot coffee
