I have COPD and I’m male so the hot flashes are not limited to women. It’s part of living with COPD. All they can do for me is try different medicated inhalers. My parents smoked and I quit 30 years ago but my pulmonologist asked me if my parents smoked ( 30 years ago) and I said yes and he said “ well then you have COPD. Nothing works unless you go on oxygen and I didn’t want to carry a bottle of oxygen around so I’m living with the inhalers .

That's interesting because my mom smoked a lot but I never smoked. My GP says I have COPD, but the pulmonologist said a couple of years ago that my lung function was too high to be diagnosed with COPD. and O2 SATs remain 89 to 91 0r 92. My GP still maintains I have it. I have many symptoms, especially troubling is the cough and mucus. GP says she can hear the COPD in my lungs. I also have had the hot flashes for several months now. I am female and 76. I hope you all don't mind my being on your list. It has been helpfu.
