Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Warm Sensation From The Upper Chest Radiating To The Arm?
Hi Doctor, I am experiencing a warm flushing feeling that starts in my upper chest and spreads to my neck and arms. It does not start from the heart, just above the torso, and actually it doesn t effect my torso at all. This happens during the day. Lately I wake up in the middle of the night really hot with light sweating. I am an active 46yo female, no smoking. Is this menopause?
The symptoms can be related to perimenopause. Hot flushes during perimenopause are normal. I suggest to sleep in a cool room and use loose cotton clothes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
