@loismoss I wouldn’t say my sweating was excessive, but whenever I would kick off the sheets or hike up my pants legs during a flash/flush, I got great relief when I started “evaporating”. Kind of like a “lake effect”.

My LC flashing/flushing was actually one symptom of a multi-symptom “episode”, as I called them.

[Nausea preceeding Full Body Flush and Heart Rate Spike (as high as 200+) with no apparent trigger (often while sitting and/or little to no exertion). After heart rate stablized I would suffer a frequently severe post exertional malaise. My mind was mush and I felt a crushing fatigue. Each episode ranged from 1 min. to up to 30 min.]

My (LC Clinic) doctor prescribed Metoprolol to minimize my heart rate spikes/palpitations and low-dose estrogen for the flashing. That combination worked wonders for me.

My main LC symptoms from onset 9/11/2020 I still am challenged with is major Brain Fog (I was a career bookkeeper and now can’t even do simple math without a calculator, and that only when I can remember the numbers I am calculating), and severe dizziness. Though significantly decreased, I still have heart palpitations, and regular chest pain/pressure. Since there is no all-around LC cure, it’s a battle against one thing at a time. I do hope you find your perfect cocktail of treatment, whether it be medication, physical therapies, or supplementation. My best to you!
