Hi discokaren,
I have been premenopausal for over a year and I very really get hot flushes, I think I had two big once's last year.
But I have had once must be my first menopausal symptoms, I was at the markets, and I felt really strange like the world was about to stop. That fainting feeling, hot, the room was closing in on me, I couldn't do anything I just froze, I do think it lasted long? And I just left the shop, I had to get out of there. I only ever had it once,it was terrible.
