Hot flashes at 34?!?!

[mommabear]

Seriously?? I think I am starting to have hot flashes! About one or two a day, two or three each night. And I am having long stretches of wakefulness at night too. Could this be anything other than perimenopause? TIA!

I'm not there yet, but I know my mom started having hot flashes at around 35 and was in full menopause by 40.

Are these true hot flashes or night sweats because I was thinking perimenapause until I recently had to be hospitalized and found out I have lung problems. Just wanted others to know that is a sign if you mistake it for hormones like I was doing. I am 38 so i thought maybe so.

Have you recently started taking any new supplements? Do you suspect any thyroid problems? Overactive thyroid can lead to wakefulness.

I'm with punchy because thyroid issues can cause hot flashes that is how my sxs would begin I would think I would end up with a fever because I would feel as if I was burning up but my temp would be still normal. I am 32 almost 33 and was diagnosed with my thyroid issues in 98 so i had hot flashes since my mid 20's.

Are these night sweats? Night sweats can be a sign of something more serious than menopause.

Could also be a hormonal imbalance.
