Hot Flushes
Decoding Perimenopausal
What does it feel like?
A sudden and intense wave of heat, often beginning in the chest or face and spreading across the body, sometimes followed by sweating and chills.
Fluctuations in estrogen disrupt the hypothalamus, the brain’s temperature control center, causing the body to overreact to minor changes in temperature.
Why does this happen during perimenopause?
How can you manage or sooth this symptom?
Cooling techniques such as using fans, wearing lightweight layers, and drinking cool water help. Mind-body practices like yoga, meditation, and HRT can also reduce their frequency and intensity.
