I m trying to determine if this is menopause related, or something like an infection. I m a female - almost 52 years I ve had menopause symptoms - which aren t new. These seem weird. I am having frequent and off-cycle menstrual cycles that bring on some additional symptoms. Heat (not sweat) limited to neck and face - dry. that comes with bloating. cloudy urine, shortness of breath. then when the heat dissipates, I can breathe, but freezing cold (night sweats and hot flashes typically are not dry, nor limited to an area, nor cause shortness of breach) breathe) Would this mean an infection or something?
