What are hot flushes?

Hot Flushes PatternIn Symptoms of Menopause: Hot Flushes and Night Sweats the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health (JH) explain:

“About 80% of women experience hot flushes and night sweats around the time of menopause. These waves of heat usually start in your chest area and spread to your upper chest, neck and face. They can also spread over your whole body. The flushes may feel like a burning, overheating sensation. You may also have reddening of the skin and different degrees of sweating. When a flush happens at night, it’s called a ‘night sweat’”.2

In Mayo Clinic Minute: Why Alcohol and Menopause Can Be A Dangerous Mix a (United States) Mayo Clinic doctor explains:
