What do you do when you suffer hot flashes? Ask most women and they will agree that most common and irritable symptom of menopause are hot flashes. Some women refer to it as a “flash” because women report a flushed feeling about face and neck. Those feeling usually came together with sweats.Current theory proposes that certain brain chemicals called catecholamines and opiates may mediate hot flashes. It’s now believed that hypothalamus, one of glands affected by estradiol withdrawal, somehow releases a trigger substance that results in thermoregulatory instability. The body’s signals get mixed, triggering a warming and sweating sequence, in an effort to stabilize what it perceives as a change in body temperature. To help you with that situation, here are 7 tips to cope with hot flashes which you might need. 1. Dress in layered clothing, preferably cotton, since natural fibers allow your skin to breathe. Then when you feel a flash coming on, you can simply shed layers to cool off. Since some flashes are followed by chills, it can be helpful to have a sweater to put back on. 2. Limit or eliminate altogether substances that may act as triggers: caffeine; alcohol; hot, spicy foods; diet pills; hot tubs; stress. 3. Drink plenty of water. Keeping well hydrated can help modulate your body temperature.
