Sugar Rushes and Hot Flushes
« on: February 24, 2019, 09:27:22 AM »

Hi

I have phases where I overheat and oddly my chin goes bright red! Last summer was a 'challenging' time for this and it seems to happen after my evening meal. As I'm getting peri symptoms I'm assuming it's my version of a hot flush which will probably get worse throughout the menopause (hopefully the oestrogel will sort it).

I don't drink alcohol or caffeine, don't smoke, don't eat spicy food and I'm not overweight, so I keep the known triggers to a minimum.

What I have noticed is that sugary food and chocolate seems to also set it off now. I'm assuming it's due to a blood sugar rush.

Does anybody else have this?

Thanks x
