Hot flashes or night sweats (if they occur at night) are a symptom of changing hormone levels in women who are undergoing menopause and perimenopause. They are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat, often accompanied by a rapid heart beat and sweating. The sensation can last from 2 to 30 minutes and usually begins in the face or chest, possibly spreading throughout the body. The exact cause of hot flashes is unknown, but it is thought that reduced levels of estrogen during menopause may disrupt the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates body temperature.
