General Info about Hot Flash

Hot flash is an unusual feature that women face before, during and after menopause. It is a global phenomenon experienced by almost all women. Few lucky ones escape form this symptom. Hormonal imbalance experienced during this time is what is exhibited as this external symptom.

My worst hot flashes feel similar to a slight electrical shock, short-lived but very significant (as if I have stuck my finger in a light socket.) Has anyone else experience a similar type of hot flash? I have also had the type where you feel as if your temperature immediately rises and you must remove clothing while profusely perspiring.
