I think I ve been experiencing hot flashes, but I m not sure. I m 48 years old, and when I get stressed or nervous, I get flushed on my face and sometimes my whole body is sweating. Then I feel cold, which makes me wonder if its something else. This has been going on for a couple of months. I don t remember when I got my last period, at least 6 months ago. I get it twice a year now .The more and more this happens to me it seems like my body temperature inside is not functioning properly. Something doesn t seem right to me. I almost feel sick like I m coming down with something. I ve always been healthy , no major health problems and I do not take any medications. I probably should make an appointment to go see my primary.
