Is it “hot” in here? Getting Rid of the Heat- Introducing the “Kool Tool”!
Are you tired of those bothersome hot flashes? Sweating during a meeting and losing your train of thought? Soaking the sheets at night?
Well, you’re not alone! Approximately eighty-five percent of the women in the United States are experiencing hot flashes of some kind as they approach menopause, and for the first few years after their periods stop. In fact, 20-50% of women continue to experience them for up to 5 years and 15% will continue to have them their entire life! Want some secret tips to turn down the heat?
What are hot flashes?
A hot flash is a sudden, intense, warm feeling which occurs on the face, neck and upper body which can last for a few seconds, minutes or longer. It can be accompanied by faster heart rate, sweating, and loss of thought. Some women even experience an “aura”, an uneasy feeling just before the hot flash occurs, warning them of its imminent assault. This flash is often followed by a flush, which leaves you reddened and perspiring. At night, these same symptoms are called night sweats.
What causes hot flashes?
Hot flashes are usually caused by the hormonal changes occurring during menopause, specifically the precipitous decline in estrogen levels. Some of these symptoms can also be affected by lifestyle and medications. With the steep decline in estrogen levels during menopause, the brain experiences certain changes. Specifically, the hypothalamus, the control center for appetite, sleep cycles, sex hormones and body temperature is affected. The drop in estrogen confuses the hypothalamus to think that it’s “thermostat” is reading “too hot”.
Because of this heat overload, your brain sends signals to vital organs to get rid of the heat. Your heart rate quickens, blood vessels dilate and nervous system is activated with release of epinephrine, prostaglandins and serotonin. Within seconds, the blood vessels in your skin dilate, radiating off heat, and sweat glands produce sweat to cool you off. It has been reported that in some women the skin temperature can rise as much as six degrees Fahrenheit! Your body cools down because it thinks it too hot, making you sweat during the middle of a board meeting or in the middle of a good night’s sleep.
Decrease hot flashes by avoiding these triggers:
- Stress
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Spicy foods
- Tight clothing
- Heat
- Cigarette smoke
