Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m in good health with no previous concerns. Now at age 65, when I get overheated it continues for hours. I have lived in Fl for 40 yrs with a lot of humidity but for last year or so, much more discomfort from being overheated. I m scheduled for a full physical at the end of month and wish to know what additional tests should I request. Thanks,

Hello, Thanks for your query.
Your History suggests you are suffering from Hot flushes and sweating secondary to Menopause. Kindly don't worry as it is not a disease and almost every woman of your age experiences this. Kindly get yourself examined by a Gynecologist so that he/she may examine you and rule out what exactly is causing your Symptoms and Many effective treatments are available, from lifestyle adjustments to hormone therapy or low dose antidepressants, if the symptoms get severe.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
