What exactly does a hot flash feel like?

I heard my friend's mum describe it:\nYou suddenly get hot, then your skin becomes prickly (pins and needles?), sometimes breaking out in goose-bumps, then you sweat which makes your skin cool down and your body is fighting between being hot and cold... and so you feel horrible because of these body temperature changes. \n\nShe said it's due to a certain hormone that controls body temperature.

My face turns red, I feel hot. I've watched a woman drip sweat during one of hers. Mine are tolerable, but I do kick the covers off alot at night!

it feels like a bee sting.  this is from interviews with soldiers and policemen that have been shot.  most nerve endings are in your skin, and not in your muscles or organs.  you just feel the pain at the skins surface.

<>Some additional questions here:  Does the leg feel hot (to her or to the touch)?  Is there a burning sensation?  Does she ever feel short of breath?  The symptoms you describe could be attributable to DVT or some other thrombolytic venous dysfunction.  These are SERIOUS conditions!  If the first doctor can't diagnose it, go see someone else right away!! Now!!!

If the burning just started, your feeling is probably coming back.\n\nIf you have NOT consulted your surgeon about this, what are you waiting for?  Call them now.

yes, that is normal. It is just your body's reaction to the heat. Don't worry....

like being struck by lightning, you don't know what hit you, you get the shivers inside and your mind stops working for at least a few seconds....it's like a dream......AND ITS A LOVELY FEELING....believe me, it exists...

I have passed out at the sight of blood dozens of times over the past 15 years. I don't know that it can be put into words , but I will attempt it. When I begin to faint physically I feel dizzy, cold and hot simultaneously, and mildly nauseous. Mentally/emotionally I feel scared about getting to a safe place like on the floor if I faint. As I faint I get this sickening feeling maybe physical maybe emotional I can't describe it - like my control of my body and consciousness are being forcibly pulled away and forced to "shut down". \nIt is a terrible experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

yes, it's happened to me but when it happens it just feels weird and really really different. I wonder if it's a completely different feeling than what we normally feel everyday. they should have a name for it besides de ja vu. its just weird. haha.

mm.. maybe she has just burned to much of her electrolytes and her body needs to replenish them.. I would ask you Dr. maybe she is having a hormone imbalance after sex for so long.. women state that during menopause that they feel like are about to burst into flames they are so hot..

It feels like you are about to stop breathing you lose control of your body it tenses up then it is like an explosion of energy through a very small hole. that is why we jerk like that for along time even after we finish. then all the feeling comes back very fast. in which it makes us very sensitive on the tip of it.

Whewwww, makes me hot and cold at the same time just thinking about it, good question though. Probably freezing, it would take longer but the idea of my flesh burning off is kind of disgusting. Guess the smoke from the fire would kill me first, but not factoring that into the equation.

it's that feeling after and during the kiss...that *click*... The click is when you feel warm and connected to the person....it's nice...\n\nHow do you make out...let's see... I can't really explain that one, that's just something you keep trying to do until you get it right...i didn't need practice...lol

I think you may be referring to pseudo seizures, which is like the sensation of having seizures, but truly do not.  Many people suffer from this.  It is as if a person mimics symptoms of a seizure.   I am eplieptic and for a while my doc thought i was suffering from pseudo seizures, but if you want more info you should check out the epilepsyfoundation.org.  Hope this helps.  Take care.

I'm feeling ya, girlfriend!  I had my first hot flash a few weeks ago, and I'll be 39 july 1!  My mom went through it early, and we both got our periods early, so it's not that unusual.  However, if your family doesn't have a history of this, then see your gyno!

Actually had no idea what it would feel like...I was hit by a tracer round from an AK-47. Felt like getting hit by a baseball bat.. watched it from about 150 yards to almost impact..was in SLOOO- motion. Cauterized itself (burned itself closed) Had just 1 drop of blood at both entry and exit Went numb almost immediately.Couldn't flex elbow either.
