Hello there,
I turn into a sweaty mass every morning. Is it possible to have hotflashes only at certain times of the day? HELP!!
Thanks,
suse

Hi, I get hot and cold flashes. In the a.m. while drinking something hot I'll get a hot flash, which is normal. Sometimes I can't get warm enough. I am freezing to death. I sit on the heating pad. Then I get a hot flash again. This occurs for me usually in the late afternoon. I have started scheduling my Black Cohost in the a.m and late afternoon and bedtime.

Hugs,

Agree that flashing can come at any time and for some keep a schedule. Mine were at night just as I wanted desperately to sleep. Panic would make me jump out of bed: "What the heck is going on??!!" And then, the whoosh - hot flushing from abdomen to face. "Oh, I know what THIS is... !"

NHRT got rid of them [plus about a dozen of my other symptoms]...

HI, I'm new to the Power-Surge site. I think it's going to help me greatly. I am 50 and started having the "hot flashes" about 10 days ago. I've heard many women talk of them, but thought that you only got hot and flushed. So when I started having mine (always at 2:00 - 3:00 am.) I thought they were panic attacks or low blood suger. Can they happen at the same time every morning? I get hot, my heart starts pounding, and I feel the need to get up and walk around. Usually I am very shakey and unstable (lightheadedness, headache, fuzzy vision) for the rest of the morning into early afternoon. Then I seem to even out. I have been tested for hypoglycemia and thyroid, but the tests look good. I guess I would just like to hear from anyone else who has hot flashes that you can set your clock by!

Hi..it is so lovely, huh??? Each one of us is different & I've talked to women who just had a little flush during the day, others who soaked the sheets at night. I went through the hot flashes/night sweats for about 6-7 years.
For awhile, for me, (at the worst of it all) I had hot flashes pretty much every half hour, morning noon & night...the hot flashes were sickening sometimes, just an all over awful feeling. Then I would feel so cold & shiver. The night sweats were probably more bothersome since I didn't sleep for quite a few years! I really don't think I slept a solid hour at a time. It was rough.
Hope something works for you...there's lots you can try, omitting certain foods/drinks from your diet, natural herbal supplements, over the counter stuff & prescriptions.
Good luck,
Spirit

Ohmygod YES you can have morning hot flashes! That's when I get mine (if that is what they are: my doc won't admit that they are since I'm still having a regular period). I get mine between 9 and 10:30, no matter what I'm doing or thinking. Every day. Anxiety, palpitations (although my pulse stays very low), a bit of heat from my hairline through my torso, and then I sweat--rolling down my sides. My concern is how long the sweating lasts--it takes about an hour or sometimes more to stop the sweating and the palpitations, although I'm not particularly hot all that time. I don't get them at night. I'm cold enough during the p.m. that I can wear sweaters.

I've cut out caffeine, hot showers, talking to certain people on the phone (it seems to cause anxiousness, which causes me to sweat profusely), I turn on the ceiling fan, breathe, tried black cohosh and evening primrose oil--nothing helps. Sometimes they are really long-lasting, sometimes very minor. But I have them.

Hi Suse,
Yes, it's possible to have hotflashes only in the morning... I have a hotflash every so often during the day (once every few months, yeah) - but mainly it was in the a.m. It was always connected to drinking coffee (or something warm/hot).. I would sweat for 2-3 hrs..,yuck!!

Now to give you and others hope - it does subside as time goes on. For me - every so often it happens instead of "most of the time" - and that's a good thing

HELP! I don't know if I'm having hot flashes or what.....they usually hit me in the morning. I'll get really hot and flushed and very nauseous and weak. Then once the heat starts to diminish I get cold but the nausea and weakness continues for hours. I get an awful headache and can't seem to get out of my own way. Is this a hot flash?

It sounds like hotflashes to me. Mine go on all day and I always feel it coming by feeling nauseaus and panicky first then I would feel heat crawling up my skin. I also get a bad headache following a really serere one. I have been having them severely for 3 years. I had moderate ones for 2 years before that. Gosh 5 years of flashes and I still don't have sense enough to go on HRT. I just keep thinking they will get better. I do have a good day every now and then when they aren't too bad. That gives me hope.

Patrice, thanks for making me feel better. at least I know I'm not the only one. They are really bad sometimes. The bad ones seem to hit once a month usually before my cycle. I get really hot and dizzy and feel like I'm gonna be sick, then the chills start in and that makes me feel even more nauseaus because I get the shakes. As a matter of fact, I woke up this morning with one and I'm still in bed. Seems like that is the only thing I can do. I can't seem to get out of my own way and I'm exhausted.

LOL I've given up coffee (most mornings) cause it would bring on the hotflashes.....and texas pete..used to use it on everything..not anymore
