New onset ‘hot flashes’ years after menopause
I have recently started experiencing ‘hot flashes’ in the early morning hours (3:00 to 4:00 a.m.). I’m 72 years old. Saw my provider yesterday, and she looked as surprised as I am. Requested thyroid level be checked. Also have had a few heart palpitations soon after lying down. Searching for answers.

It could be your thyroid or unbalanced overall female hormones. Maybe a hormone panel test will help. I do bioidentical hormones, but since I have changed doctors I started to spot and that is also a problem for an almost 70 yo woman. So I’m in the search for answers also if anyone can help. Thanks

Not sure if you are saying that you are still on hrt or that you took it for 10 years then stopped.
