Do hot flushes occur in "waves" or "phases"?

As in, could you go for days or weeks at a time without that stupid heat/flushing thing, and then suddenly have it come on again? And for me, it's accompanied by that irritating head pressure/weird full head feeling, as well as headache, tinnitus and general dejection. Anyone else? :((

Hi Cat, Unfortunately, yes. Seems to me that most symptoms come and go and come and go... :( Take good care, Dana

hi, yes my flushes were not as bad for a week but now they are awful as is my reflux and rib pain and like you said the head pressure xx

Hi - I don't get flushes but I do get night sweats and the head pressure feeling a lot. This comes and goes, I can go for a week without it and then it's back. I'm guessing it's the fluctuating hormones?

Hugs xx

Hey Cat..

For the record: The dreaded hot flashes can occur at any time. There's NO set day, date, time, or season to their madness! They are just one of the many relentless symptoms of menopause.

Sigh... looking forward to that permanent "go". It really is up and down, up and down -- exhausting. Take good care too X

Makes you almost feel like rinsing out your head!! Hugs X

Yes I'm thinking so more and more now. Some weeks back I skipped a period and the whole time I was actually feeling quite fine; but then the next period came, and at the end of it came the headaches and the heat and pressure. Infuriating really. Hugs X

Hm for me it sort of comes and goes; there are distinct times where I feel fine. Here's to all of us hanging in there and pressing through it!!

makes me want to be worzel gummidge and change heads haha xx

i find the pressure on the days when it happens is far worse when ive overdone it xx

12

By "overdone", do you mean exerted yourself?

13

yes lovely, even when im in pain i cant sit still xx

14

So exhausting : ( For me the pressure thing seems very linked to diet, if I go overboard on caffeine or eat out where the sodium content is higher. It's not like it was when I was in school and ate whatever the heck I wanted without thinking twice!!
