Hot Flashes - WTF?

[B1gJ1m]

Okay so about three - four weeks ago I started experiencing hot flashes. Numerous times throughout the day and night, I start feeling extremely hot and break out in a light sweat all over. It doesent seem matter what I'm doing or where I'm at, it happens. I can be relaxing watching tv and wham, I'm all of a sudden very hot. They seem to last for a minute or two and then go away. But its really strange because I've never had anything like this happen before. I'm 40 years old and not using any gear. Any ideas or suggestions? Should I speak to my doctor about this if it continues? Thanks.

Hope its all good

Supplements? New foods? Tren????

I did a test e cycle quite a while ago, but have been off for well over 6 weeks now. I was doing 500 mg. every week for 10 weeks. I did pct following the cycle. Just curious if its related somehow. Anyway I'll probably call my doctor. Not currently on any supplements and no new foods. Does andropause cause this like menopause in women?

I get the hot flashes every now and then but have realized that it is the food I am taking in raising my meto levels. I feel like a furnace at times during the day dues to the food amounts I am putting in me....like coal on a fire.

I have changed my diet recently but at least two weeks after the hot flashes started. Maybe I'm just going through the "change of life". Or its that everything is going so well I need to have someting bugging me so this is it.

should of read you said you werent on anything...so i would assume estrogen is not the problem.
how is your blood pressure?

 

[B1gJ1m]

Blood pressure is very good. I'm going to call my doc tomorrow.

Tribestan, or an equally effective alternative, should balance out your hormone levels. Sears Labs fish oil may help also.

Had the same thing happen 10 years ago. Turned out to be panic/ anxiety attacks. They put me on an SSRI drug and it never happened again.

Hope this helps,

This might seem like a stupid question, but would a low dose of clomid help? Say, 50mg a day for a week or two? What about nolva? Again thanks for the advice.

 

[Chrisco915]

I can't answer the clomid question but I was wondering if you could keep us up to date on what the DR says. Sounds like a few people including myself can relate.

After reading some of the responses I'm starting to think its low test and high estrogen levels. I made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow morning. Now I just need a good explination to my levels are probably screwed up. Any suggestions?

tell him you took a legal test booster or prohormone and have hadestrogen issues since

also plug him it might be anxiety or hypertension!!! my hot flashes were from hypertension

That is pretty good advice.

 

[B1gJ1m]

Seems like a logical explination. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your responses.

Just got the results from my blood test. Seems my test leve is 207. Not sure how low that is on the whole scale of things. My doctor wants me to get an MRI of my pituitary gland before going any further. Its funny cause when I was in office, I used one of his note pads to take notes and it was Androgel 1% notepad. Funny shit. I don't want the gel so I need to get my shit right to discuss other treatment options with him.
