@frouke, You have a very valid concern. I pray something is found to help you. During my menopausal years, I found drinking apple cider vinegar (2 tbsp diluted in water 1 or 2x daily) actually did help relieve the intensity and frequency of my flashing. During summer, head in the freezer helped. During a cold winter running outside did the trick, too. A purely physical remedy I found that helped ride out a flash any time of day was placing/wrapping a cold compress, metal, or similar directly over the veins on the inside of your wrist. The theory being the cold pressed on the vein will cool the flowing blood which then delivers cooled blood to the rest of your body to quickly bring down your overall internal temperature. At night I simply grab onto the metalwork on the headboard of my bed, kick my legs out from under the sheets for quick relief. That's my 2 ¢. My best to you!
