every so often, not daily, but once every 3 or 4 days, i start feeling my heartbeat in my gums that is followed by my head experiencing a hot flash. while it is happening, i do not feel very well. it usually will go away after about 5 minutes or so and will not happen again that day. i am a type 2 diabetic and am taking high blood pressure meds as well as a testosterone gel therapy. this will usually leave me with a bit of a headache, nothing major.
