Hi all
Will try to keep it simple.
I gave birth 5 months ago, since then I have had hot flushes. I used to have them before but now they are happening a lot. I can be feeling fime one minute then hot, shaky, sweaty the next. I never pass out though i feel weak and they make me feel washed out after. I have seen the doctor who tested the following:
thyroid, hormones, red and white cells, full blood count and all came back fine.
I feel fine otherwise and really happy but this is making me scared to do much when it happens.
Anyone have any ideas?
Xx

I had similar...GP called it "hypo" something or other. It stopped after about 4 months.

Your GP seems to have run a full battery of bloods although I notice you dont mention an iron level test....you may well be anaemic....did you lose a lot of blood at delivery/afterwards????
