Let me start by saying I am 24 and not going through menopause. I am not sure if this is considered a hot flash or something else. Its 1:14 and I am really sleepy right now but can't sleep coz I have so much of heat emitting from my body. Its like I am actually sleeping on a furnace. I have the air on as cold as I can and have the fans running and still can't sleep. This happens to me pretty often. If i try to cool myself down by sitting in front of the fan, then I get way too cold....which I don't mind but I can still feel all the heat emitting from my face. I just took some OTC pain killers about an hour ago, so I'm not sure if that could coz this, but I need some sleep. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Please help. Thanks.

How long has this been going on? If this has been going on for a while, you really should see your Dr.

I would definetly consult your doctor about this. How often does this happen? How long do the episodes last? Are you running a fever during these episodes? I have those every once in a while and everytime I am running a fever, but I have some health problems. It could be early menopause setting in. Or it could be something else. I honestly don't know. But definetly go see your doctor have have those questions answered for him. :) Good luck to you.

It could be because of stress if you have any.. stress can cause a lot things like the one you mentioned but as the previous girls said you should check it at your doctor's..
Good Luck girl..

Do you take any other meds? I remember taking some allergy pill or something that had that affect on me.
