Hot flashes

Also Known As: Hot flashes, hot flushes

Hot flashes (also known as hot flushes) are a symptom which may have several other causes, but which is often caused by the changing hormone levels that are characteristic of menopause. They are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence.[1]   

Hot flashes can also be the side effect of certain medications.
