Hot Flashes & Menopause: Symptoms, Causes & What to Do


Question
Hi Cathy.  I am a 37 year old woman.  I started my cycle when I was nine years old.  (Ugh.)  For the past year,  I have been getting VERY hot all over;  it usually starts in my feet,  and then works upwards.  I wake up at night with sweat between my chest,  and on the back of my neck.  Is this signs of "early menopause" ?  Please advise,  Thanks in advance,  Angela

Answer
What you are describing sounds like nights and typically is a perimenopause symptom.

If it gets unbearable, have your hormones checked. You can find lots more information at http://www.everythingmenopause.com and www.howtoconquermenopause.com

Good luck
