Wondered if anyone has the same experience as me …
OK so I have “normal” hot flushes. Some days worse, some days very mild/none. Seems to be no real pattern to it. They tend to last under ten minutes and are horrible but I suppose bearable. They can be every hour on bad days.
But then sometimes (like last night) I get strange episodes where the hot flushes seem to run into each other for 2-3-4 hours. So I’m hot, sweating,chilled at the same time, headache, dizzy, nauseous, weak etc for ages until it eventually ends. Even then I still feel a bit wobbly. It’s like my thermostat has got totally confused. Feels like my body has no idea what’s it’s doing.
It tends to happen during my period day 2/3 I have noticed so when oestrogen is at its lowest I suppose.
It’s really affecting me during those attacks and I struggle to do anything tbh as I feel so awful and just want to lie down and be left alone.
Does anyone have similar? I am convinced sometimes that’s I’m actually dying of a rare illness sometimes ….
Thank you
