HOT FLASHES ACCOMPANIED BY ANXIETY

06/24/2008: Pam from Sacramento, CA writes: "I haven't tried any remedies yet, but I wanted to see if anyone out there experiences what I am as I find it very disconcerting. I get hot flashes, but the heat is minor compared to the intense feeling of anxiety/sensation I get preceding the burst of sweat. It starts in my lower back and builds and spreads out culminating in the flash of flushing and sweat. It is so intense it wakes me from a sound sleep. I always get one just as I tried to fall asleep and immediately upon waking. Is this a common experience? Is it part of the hot flash or am I dying?? HA! It is driving me crazy. I feel worn out from it. I have never heard anyone else describe this sensation. Are you out there?"

03/12/2010: Billie from Hollywood, Florida, Usa replies: "I recently stopped using hormone replacement and now get an intense feeling of anxiety/panic right before the hot flash and/or night sweats which also wake me up. I am going back on hormone replacement which will alleviate this problem. When I had my original hot flashes years ago, I did not experience this anxiety."

Good luck Diana"
