Hot Flashes are probably the most usual symptom connected with menopause. This symptom is considered to affect around 50% of perimenopause and nearer to 75% of menopausal adult females. Hot flashes can be reported as sudden feelings of wild heat in the upper area of, or even the whole body and these can occur at entirely different times of the day, regularity and severity in different women. During a Hot Flash experience, the neck and the face may look flushed, along with red blotches happening on the arms,back and chest. At times, the symptom may as well lead in heavy sweating, followed by cold shivering as the temperature of the body resettles. Intense feelings of heat in the face, neck, torso and upper limbs are the most common symptoms, however, heart palpitations, flushing, varying levels of perspiration also occur any time of the day. Disturbed sleep patterns due to hot flashes are known as night sweats. Some women can develop bad sleeping patterns precisely due to these Hot Flashes and night sweats which in turn can result toirritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating or even mood swings during the day. A lessening in the hormone estrogen can blur the body into thinking it is overheating and trigger these hot flashes. Still, women who are experiencing menopause signs such as hot flashes and night sweats can assist to manage these with many easy lifestyle changes. • Having a cold or tepid shower during the day and at night time before going to bed. • Dress in layers so that clothing items can be removed at the very first indication of a Hot Flash. • Make sure you relax during the day – do not rush around, make lots of time for yourself. • Take a glass of cold juice or water at the onset of a Hot Flash. • Always rest in a room that has proper cross-ventilation, or better still, fans or air conditioned. • Always use sheets, lingerie and cotton clothers to allow the skin to breathe, especially during bed time. • Avoid consuming lots of alcohol, caffeine and stop smoking • Avoid hot things: heaters, hairdryers, ovens, warm sun rooms etc. • Try not to eat hot and spicy foods. This is not a medical condition; menopause is basicly a natural stage in life. Approached in a positive way, menopause can be a time when you can have a new zest for life!
