What Causes Hot And Cold Flashes In An Elderly Person?

My 73 year old Mother had a triple bypass on September 4th and she is complaining of hot and cold sweats. Is there anything I should be doing? Her b/p was 106/67, her blood sugars was 154. Which both is pretty good for her. She usually reads around these numbers.

Usually flushes in elderly women are due to low estrogen in the body after menopause.for these harmones will be replaced little bit along with proper diet ane exercise.but your mom has under gone bypass and harmones are not given now,but she can have soya in her diet with plenty of fruits like watermelon,musk melon,guava,black jamoon.she needs to cut nonveg in diet and needs to take plenty of green leafy vegetables and boiled and cooked vegetables instead of fried ones.doing yoga and meditation under trained persons guidance who can suggest what can be done and what exercise cant be done is very much helpful for patinets after bypass surgery
