Posted on Thu, 26 Jun 2014
Question: I'm 76 years old. The symptoms I experienced started with heat radiating from my neck to my chest. Felt almost like a hot flash but worse and lasted longer. Besides, I'm much pass menopause. The experience seemed to take a lot out of me. Had to sit for a long time to recover.

Brief Answer:
Causes to heating feeling apart menopause...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

You are reporting to feel a heat radiating from your neck to your chest (worse than hot flash). You are also reporting to be using premarin while you are "much pass menopause".

The heat feeling you had, to my opinion, might be related to:
- spike in high blood pressure (measure your blood pressure and heart rated, record the results for further evaluation)
- thyroid problems: a thyroid function test is needed
- cardiac problems: further examinations are needed including ECG, cardiac/carotid echo, stress test, holter monitoring
- stomach issues

I advise to measure blood sugar levels and lipid profile testing too. Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.

Hope it helped! Let me know if I can assist you further!
