I think I'm experiencing my first hot flushes but they are concerning me a bit. It's not so much the warmth in my face but it's the pressure in my head and face that goes with it. I feel as if all the blood is rushng to my head and my head is going to burst. I then feel the heat in my face but it feels cool on the outside to touch. Does this sound normal???

Dear 'honeydog' Hot flashes and flushes can come in a variety of forms but I think I would have a check up just to make sure you are not having high blood pressure.I mention this because when I had a bout of HBP my head did feel as if it were bursting It wouldn't hurt too to have your hormone and Thyroid levels checked too. I am sure all will be well,but your peace of mind and health are of first priority. Best Wishes Elizabeth |

Yes. I could say yes even without reading your post. Hot flashes are so scary and weird so anything that is hot, cold, scary, weird in my book is a hot flash.
High blood pressure can go hand in hand with a hot flash. Which comes first: The high BP or the hot flash???? Great question!!! Do get checked by a dr that you can trust though. You wll be fine though. Yesterday I had HBP with a hot flash at the drs. Gained 4 lbs. Got a new med. Oh my!!!! Welcome to the fun!!! |
