Brief Answer:
Can be due to peri menopause
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes Mam, it can be a hot flush and an early manifestation of peri menopausal time.
But even if it is it can take 3-7 years for menopause to ensue.
Also it can be related to thyroid problems and just a premenstrual event.
Just observe for a month or two and in case these are frequent then we will get evaluation done.
All in all, nothing to worry
