Hot Flashes at 28?

[BejeweledMexican]

So this past menstrual cycle seems to be killing me. Headache, acne, tired, etc. But today (day 2) I've had like 3 hot flashes....at least that's what I think they are. I feel like these aren't normal for women in their 20's and 30's but at the same time, Google says they can be normal. Personally I'm just a mess lol I've been anxious all day and then when I finally wasn't as anxious I felt like I wanted to randomly cry. Then, once I didn't want to cry anymore, I started having hot flashes and felt 3 in one hour. My boss said that she was feeling cold so I KNOW that something was wrong with me. But now I don't know if it was anxiety or my menstrual cycle. UGH. Any thoughts on this?

I'm a male and sometimes feel hot flashes. It happens. I imagine it's even more normal for women when during the menstrual cycle.

So why do we believe Google when it tells us the worst but not when it tells us our sensations are normal?

Yes, hormones can cause hot flashes or heat sensitivity at any age.

Because, health anxiety.

Because, health anxiety.

I'm not entirely convinced that that line of thinking is health anxiety specifically. Maybe related to anxiety as a whole, but not specific to health anxiety.

I got night sweats for the three days leading up to my period. Sometimes hormones are just weird. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts really bothering you. I also sometimes get hot flashes from anxiety, which just sucks.
