My mother is 51 yrs old and recently has been complaining about feeling really hot. She feels a burning sensation all over her body, specially her neck and hands. This sensation is followed or starts with a headache. Is she experiencing hot flashes?
I'm concerned because she has diabetes and I'm worried that this might be a bad sign or something.

I get them all the time but not with a headach. Mine start in my face and then quickly spread thruout my body and I feel like you do on a really hot day. They don't ususally last very long and I have to strip down only to have to quickly replace those layers when it passes. I used to get the sweats with them and had to change my clothes at night cause they were wet. Not when I'm anxious I just get the flash. She's probably going thru menapause, the age for it!

aIt's not a bad sign, and every older women after reached to the Menopause, stop (periods) women gets hot flash- like; sweating, changing moods, feel cold, tired, all kinds of symptoms due to lack of Hormones and need to take vitamins, nutrion, exercise, walking, be happy, no stress, rest, take cooling stuff food, shower, active, and strenthen bones and be active. Their'e some women use hormone (Patches) to be strong, and to be active. It works possitive and negative too. Negative means later ages effect some other illness. She can go and see Dr. she needed.

hot flashes might be different for each person but you get hot and sweaty all over.. but really in your moms case being 51 and diabetic, I would consider talking to her doctor about this because it could be something more serious.

I think you may mean 'hot flushes'
I think it's when the blood rushes to a certain sport....not sure, but it's definately flushes, not flashes.
