My hot flushes have become sweaty ones whereas before I just had this extreme heat rising through me.
I get hot in the night but also as soon as I wake up. Is this normal?
I haven't had a period for 3 months and not on hrt.
Thanks.

It was normal for me. I started with the hot feeling then that became hot and sweaty on waking and then during the night before finally becoming hot sweats throughout the day. I did find my hot flushes/sweats stopped leading up to a period. The first time that happened I naively thought I was through it and out the other side of meno then the period arrived and I had to start counting the months again.

Hia,
Normal,
Your normal estrogen levels dip at night and early morning.
So these are the times you have lower estrogen, causing temp fluctuation and heat regulation issues.

Hi Mummytron
How long did your hot flashes without sweating last?
I’m 46. Periods lighter and bit irregular.
Have warmth and ‘feeling hot’ lasting 2-3 hours at a time, till next episode- atleast 2-3 episodes per day/ night. Occasional walking at night feeling hot/ skin hot to touch, but no sweating.
Not sure if it’s a hot flash?
All my bloods and ct scan is normal. My temperature is always recorded to be normal during these episodes too.
I’m really not sure what’s happening, as my results and temperature are all normal, but the symptoms have persisted.
Can hot flashes be soooo prolonged, and that too without sweating?!
Am really confused and worried
