Silly question perhaps, but when you're having a hot flush does your body temperature go up?
I tried it a few times and my temperature was normal - for me that's usually around 35.4 oC. So even though I may feel like I'm melting I am actually quite cool.
Right now though I feel super, super hot and I took my temperature and it's 36.2 oC which isn't high I know, but it is raised for me. So am now wondering if this isn't just mega hot flush/night sweat but maybe I have a bug going on too?
I was just curious is all. My hot flushes have been under control with contraceptive for years when peri-menopausal. Now post menopausal and been swapped over to HRT (Femoston-conti) and have been stuck in what feels like a permanent hot flush for the last 4 weeks. It's been worse today, so maybe I have just got a cold coming or something. Or perhaps this is normal? Not worried just wondered (it's 2 am and the heating went off hours ago so I should be feeling chilly by now - if only!!)
