Hi everyone,

When I first came onto this site my hot flushes had abated. Well, they're now back and when I have them I feel quite horrible. Light headed and breathless. Is that normal?

I had been having a few good weeks, sleep has been better since Xmas which has helped with my anxiety. Been exercising more and eating reasonably healthy diet.

Then bam last Friday, going for a hike in the storm, have a funny turn feeling lethargic and really hot, which passed after 10 minutes. Slept funny Friday night. Saturday felt okay, but again funny sleep that night. Yesterday I was a snappy old bag and had to apologise to the kids profusely for shouting irrationally. Slept okay, this morning I'm sweating buckets, hot, flustered and a bit dazed.

Hi Kb21. It is normal to feel as you describe during a hot flush. I see from your previous posts that you are only in your late thirties. Have you been offered any HRT as you are very young to be without oestrogen and this should combat the flushes?
