I haven’t been able to find anyone else with symptoms like mine so I am hoping to find someone on here!
I don’t have hot flushes; although I have sometimes had night sweats. The main issue for me is that I feel like I’m burning up on the inside, particularly chest and torso, but for HOURS at a time. All morning or sometimes all day. No sweating though. It also feels like there is pressure in my chest. It is unbearable and not being relieved by hrt. Tests say nothing else is going on and it must be menopause because of the night sweats I’ve had sometimes. I’m absolutely desperate to find anyone similar because it’s unbearable and I feel really alone with it. 😞

Could it be reflux?  When I get indigestion it's behind my breast bone like a burning flow of liquids.  It moves into my chin, neck and throat  but not down my arms and no pins and needles. 

MayB try Milk of Magnesia liquid or Buscopan in the 1st instance.  Hiatus hernia is common as oestrogen levels drop as muscles may become lax.

No it’s not that sort of thing unfortunately. It’s definitely my whole body burning up but I feel it mostly in my torso. But thank you for taking the time to reply.

Can I ask...is it like someone has put a hot water bottle on your torso? I get this through the night,one spot,either my abdomen or my back,the heat just emanates from there but once I cool down it subsides

I think I would probably describe it a bit more like being microwaved from the inside. My body almost vibrates with it. It isn’t quite like it’s in a particular spot as such, although the worst of it is my torso. Having written it down I now realise how hard it is to describe it properly!

I have itching under my ribs - I've suffered since an early age, of course I can't get under to scratch!!  'imagination' I was told but it's there when I get a cold

I think it's all probably meno related but always good to mention to your Dr but a MENO SAVVY Dr as some just don't have a clue
