Hot Flushes

I am peri menopausal & had to come off HRT (approx 6 weeks ago) due to recent breast cancer surgery & have started to get hot flushes. I was wondering if there was anything I could take to help as they make me very anxious, which then makes them worse.

I’ve tried this but unfortunately I’m unable to take many hormone boosters as my breast cancer was oestrogen dependant. Black cohosh is a definite no. I’ll do a bit more research, but there is so much conflicting advice. Thanks for responding.
