I have been having hot flashes in my right foot for about two weeks now. They started at 3 a day and have increased to about 11 or more per day. No tingling or pain. Just a very hot sensation for a few seconds that gradually fades. My doctor would not make an appointment for me, she just said its my shoes and told me to do stretches. I have only worn very comfortable, roomy snow boots for the past 5 months. No heels. I go barefoot most of the time since I am a stay at home mother. I am 38. I have no chronic health problems, non smoker and have never been on any medications. Should I be more aggressive at asking a doctor to see me for this, or is it really no big deal like my doctor thinks it is? Its very irritating.
