Hi,
I think you should take your health situation less stressful although the hormonal changes might make you think the worst. You can take primrose oil to manage hot flashes together with Melatonin combination with Valeriana/Passiflora/Aloe vera supplement to make you less stressful, and get more sleep. They are all hormone-free do not worry. Avoid caffeinated drinks especially in the afternoon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
