In the heat, the dream that I was chasing
Hot flashes are a symptom of the changing hormone levels that are considered to be characteristic of menopause.
Hot flashes are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence. The sensation of heat usually begins in the face or face and chest, although it may appear elsewhere such as the back of the neck, and it can spread throughout the whole body. Some women pass out if the effects are strong enough. In addition to being an internal sensation, the surface of the skin, especially on the face, becomes hot to the touch.
It has been speculated that hot flashes are considerably less common among Asian women, possibly due to their diets.
Hot flashes in men could be a possible sign of low testosterone.
