Hot flushes and dizziness 13 yo girl

Wasn´t sure whether to put this in children´s health or women´s health so opted for general.

DD has had periods for about 2 years now. Recently she´s been having what can only be described as hot flushes. She feels dizzy and her face burns up (goes very red) but doesn´t get sweaty as such, just burning face. She had it today and came home early from school. Day 5 of her period today. Same thing happened last Friday, so on day 1 of her period. She´s had the feeling dizzy (sometimes nauseaous) when she wakes u and it always seems to be the day or so before her periods.
She has quite heavy periods I think, but not especially painful.
I am going to try to get a same day apt tomorrow (WE AREN´T IN THE UK) and assume it´s all hormonal, but wondered if anyone had any experience?
At the same age I had very painful periods and would sometimes feel like I would throw up and feel a bit dizzy, but was never sure how much that was just because of the pain.

She´s not stressed or anxious when it happens so I don´t believe it´s a panic attack.
