What Causes Hot Flushes And Chills?
For the past 5 months I have had hot flushes (feels like my blood is boiling) from the waist to my neck, and I get cold chills from my knees down. I am a 69 year old male, and all blood work has been normal. Could this be stress or what. Can't get an answer from any one.

Hello,
Hot flashes in men are most likely to occur as a result of a prostate cancer treatment called androgen deprivation therapy.
This treatment works by restricting the production of testosterone so that it can't stimulate cancer cell growth.
Therefore I suggest consulting a urologist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand
