For the last few years I have had hot flushes every few months. Since January I have had at least 4 during the day and 2 at night. Being woken up twice a night is beginning to take its tolls and starting to feel so tired.
Is this normal for hot flushes to go from very occasionally to every day and night?. I had a hysterectomy 8 years ago but they left my ovaries in situ. I am 52. Any advice will help.
I don't no if it's normal or not but I am suffering with really bad hot flushes and they also make me sweat so bad I get soaking wet . I can't help with any advice sorry because what ever I've tried doesn't seem to help. All I can say is that your not alone. Take care and I hope someone can give you some good advice x
I was suffering them really badly on and off for the past two years. I'm 53 now. What seems to be helping alittle for me is that I stopped drinking coffee and cafinated drinks. I will as I miss my black tea so much just drink that in the mornings. Nothing cafine after 12 mid day. I then go on to herbal teas, and water. If pushed I'd have a caffeine free coffee say if I was out with friends. I made the connection with the caffeine when a friend came to say and she drank for hot drinks just herbal teas. I joined her in them for that week and couldn't believe the difference with the flushes day and night. Hope this helps.
I never thought about the caffeine and hot drinks I'm going to give it a try. Thankful so much for the advice.
Me neither it was just perchance that my friend drank herbal teas! Wishing you all the best.
More water and exercise can help too.I know sometimes exercise is the last thing you want when you having hot sweats but try it.
Feel you pain.🤗💕
I am 53 and the hot flushes have hit hard during the day and at night meaning I can't sleep. I tried Menopace and maca but neither worked for me. I gave in and have started on HRT - I have oestrogen gel each day and progesterone for 2 weeks. Within a week of using the gel the flushes have ceased. I am only at week 3 of this regime so I can't comment on long term effect......
I have about ten hot flushes a day minimum; along with palpitations, high anxiety; overweight; so fed up with it; don't want HRT but may have to consider it now.
Hi I found the sage tablets to be very good. I am 48 am happy to say the hot flushes are no longer an issue and everything has settled down and have come out the other side.
One thing I have found with hot flushes is that they come and go for periods - often more frequently when I am busy and stressed, I try to gently breathe and consciously relax when I feel one coming on which lessens the stress and makes it shorter (I think!). obviously wearing a cardigan and layers helps if one can discretely take off a layer. At night it is more difficult because you don't feel them coming on and the heat can build up into a big sweat, yeuch. I usually have cold feet in bed so I always dress warmly, I have started to use a light duvet and blanket combination so that I can throw one off if I need to cool down.
