Hello Ladies,
I have had hot flashes before that included the hot sweating feeling along with dizziness and palps etc. But- this morning in church my chest felt like it had pressure in it (indigestion maybe??.I have gastro troubles anyway). While standing on my feet singing I all of a sudden felt dizzy, lightheaded, hot,sweaty, weak and shaky and needed to sit down. Even with the air conditioning blowing on me from above I was still hot. I had my husband bring me home and now 2 hours later I am still somewhat weak and feel I could sleep all day, not fully recovered. I also still feel warm throughout my body. My biggest fear of course is "Could this be my heart????". UGH!!! I just had my yearly physical a week ago and my doctor didn't seem concerned about heart issues or anything. Anyone else go through this? I'm also 49 and my periods are hit or miss right now. Thank you ladies!

I had a weird aura before i get hotflashes and the last time i had a bad one i got real hot and dizzy and felt breathless And i also was weak i had no palps but i couldn;t even talk right i was scared but had hubby lie with me for a hour, after that i got up still weak but manage to take a shower after that i got the chills for awhile. Yep it lasted on me a couple hours of feeling weak. I think it was a hotlflash but i'm not doctor. Hugs Lizardlover

Lizardlover...Thanks for the reply (and hugs). I think the thing that scares me the most is the weakness afterwards that just doesn't go away as quickly as I'd like. Come to think of it, I didn't really have the palps with this one either. I of course worry that it's some major issue and that I'm doomed for the grave. Ugh. I guess the past two weeks I haven't really felt well. Lots of gerd like symptoms, out of breath at times from bloating, overall water retention till who laid the rail and just overall yuckiness. Add all that up and it's a recipe for health anxiety. Leaves ya wondering whether or not you should call a doc or chalk it up to menopause. I'll be soooo very happy when this is over. Thanks again.
