A hot flush begins as a sudden feeling or wave of heat in the face, neck and upper chest. They can also spread over the whole body. Hot flushes often come on suddenly and randomly, and usually last 1 to 5 minutes.

The flushes can feel like a burning, overheating sensation. You might also have reddening of the skin and you might start sweating”.2
