Hot flashes (also known as hot flushes) are a form of flushing due to reduced levels of estradiol. Hot flashes are a symptom which may have several other causes, but which is often caused by the changing hormone levels that are characteristic of menopause. They are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence.
Signs and symptoms
Hot flashes, a common symptom of menopause and perimenopause, are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence, ending just as rapidly as they began. The sensation of heat usually begins in the face or chest, although it may appear elsewhere such as the back of the neck, and it can spread throughout the whole body. Some women feel as if they are going to faint. In addition to being an internal sensation, the surface of the skin, especially on the face, becomes hot to the touch. This is the origin of the alternative term "hot flush", since the sensation of heat is often accompanied by visible reddening of the face. Excessive flushing can lead to rosacea.
Onset of hot flashes & heart attack symptoms correlate with lower rates of heart attack.

This Is What Happens in Your Brain During a Hot Flash
Hot flashes hit your body with an immediate sense of warmth. They can range from mild to severe, last anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and can pop on rare occasions or recur repeatedly for years. This unexpected warm feeling stems from lower levels of estrogen, which fire off neurons in the hypothalamus that control temperature regulation.

Treatment options for hot flashes, night sweats
The classic symptoms of menopause – hot flashes, sleeplessness, and vaginal dryness – have typically been treated with estrogen therapy. But a new group of studies published today states that other, non-hormonal options are effective, too.
These treatments may involve cognitive therapy to help a patient sleep, or using low doses of a class of drugs called selective serotonin uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to treat hot flashes. SSRIs have traditionally been used to treat depression, but at low doses, they were effective at reducing hot flashes and night sweats, the researchers found.
“The [National Institutes of Health] asked us to give options to women for treatment of menopausal symptoms,” said lead author Dr. Susan Reed, research director for the UW Medicine Women’s Reproductive Health Rese...

“The [National Institutes of Health] asked us to give options to women for treatment of menopausal symptoms,” said lead author Dr. Susan Reed, research director for the UW Medicine Women’s Reproductive Health Research Center. The paper summarizes 10 years of data from 5 randomized trials performed by the research group known as MsFLASH. The studies were published in Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Society.
The paper's senior author was Dr. Katherine Guthrie of the Public Health Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
“Hot flashes are the most common, but many bothersome symptoms arise in women going through menopause,” said Guthrie. “Our goal has been to help women and their doctors identify which treatment options will work best for them and, ultimately, to improve their quality of life.”
Reed remarked that many women tolerate hot flashes and night sweats, to some degree, "but what I see more women worried about is their ability to sleep or bothersome mood changes, that affects their ability to function in their work or home. It’s really critical that women prioritize, with their primary care provider, what’s bothering them most."
