Turn up the Heat
Suddenly you are way too hot. Often in less than a minute, perimenopausal women may feel as if they were transported to the Sahara desert in the middle of summer. Some women turn red in the face or chest; some perspire a little, while others may be drenched with sweat. Women may experience anywhere from one or two hot flashes a day to one an hour. The sudden sensation may come and go quickly or linger for a while before gradually fading. Each woman’s menopausal experience, including hot flashes, varies widely.
