When I'm on my period, I get these hot flashes whenever I'm exercising or walking. Normal everyday activities but I start sweating and feel completely flushed. I'm 24 and I've had this for years. Sometimes it happens at night, and I have to sleep with the fan on, on a cold winter's night. It can be embarrassing when people notice and ask if I'm ok when I start blushing.
I'm healthy and I'm not overweight. I exercise regularly and eat balanced meals most of the time. I'm also on the pill, but this has been an issue even before I started on birth control.
Does anyone else suffer with this? Or can someone explain to me what's going on?

This is normal with the varying hormones during your cycle. You can check with your doctor to try other birth control formulations that might even out your problems. Some women use BC just to control the problems they have even if they are not active.

Hormone levels are fluctuating, sharpe rise or drop, and bring on hotflashes, or sweats,(yes, like those of a women going thru menopause), not a medical problem, altho you can take hormones if it really bothers you. It's not a medical problem, just really annoying

I don't want to sound flippant, but thank goodness it's only during your period. It's hormonal. If you are really concerned, make an appointment with your gyn and find out what's going on. Perhaps you are pre-menopausal.
