Ok, i was sitting there all of a sudden I got nauseaus, my heart started pounding, I starting shaking and then I got extremely hot from the chest up. My face is still hot!!! I have gotten flashes before but this was something else. Plus I have been under alot of stress lately.

mom,

Since you've been under lots of stress lately, it was probably just that: a hot flash made much worse by anxiety. I have had so many symptoms, I am weary of it all. I've had what you described, and I know it's not fun, but hang in there. We're told that this shall pass, so all we can do it hang in there, right? You're not alone, just hang in there.

Sounds like a classic prelude to a hot flash, I get warning like that. Like get ready here it comes!
I figure it a sudden drop in our hormones.
Mine are mostly with pms, prelude that is! If it happens again drink a cool glass of water, sometime it helps!

It sounds like a real hot flash to me. it takes a while to bounce back sometimes after that. I even get jelly legs before one. It can be disturbing and scary. I hope you are feeling better.
