Not hot flashes but a constant intolerance to heat. Could that be menopause related?

Answer 1

intolerance to heat increases with age and can be worse with certain medications. In My case intolerance to heat was worse at night. But later on sweats started when temperature fluctuated from cold to hot-like going into a warm store after being out in the cold. After menapause can not tolerate extreme temperatures. Funny how old people move to Florida. I can not understand that since I would have to be inside all summer. Maybe when you are real old you do not feel any heat or cold. I am 62, not 80. Also I had a aunt who never had kids and never had any sign of hot flashes, but also had only two or three days of a period with no hormone reaction. So was my grandmother who had 5 kids. My mother had hot flashes well into 70's but also had an overactive thyroid. Also calcium blockers like Norvasc for blood pressure makes hot flashes worse and probably makes it last longer. I had menapause at 57 and still at 62 still having sweats at night a few days each month. I guess my body is still trying to make estrogen. However, I can now wear warm clothes in the winter. People thing being constantly warm in the winter is a good thing. However during hot flashes, you are not warm. You know you are having warmth after your body starts to sweat and than you are wet and cold. So actually you are cold and wet most of the time. Not good in the winter. Your body can not regulate. More like when you are cold and shaking when your temperature is going up from a fever or when you sweat from a fever breaking, not like when you are warm from a fever.
