I'm 70 and I have had hormonal fluctuations since menopause. I personally think there is a connection to sugar and fats in my diet and I get the night sweats when I eat red meat. There's a whole lotta stuff going on that I can't explain and neither can the doctors. Not on HRT. Just trying to do the basics - eat a balanced diet, sleep 7+ hours, get some daily exercise.
I'm going to be 80 next month and every so often I still get a hot flash. I don't get any night sweats. I just put up with the hot flash and drink some ice water and take off my sweater. It usually goes away fairly quickly. I think it's just something with our bodies aging. Be thankful it's not anything worse.

I’ll be 70 … I’ve been on the menopause train starting with perri at 38. I’ve learned the triggers for hot flashes are: alcohol….wine, cocktails, beer - then let the personal summer begin. Arizona is hot in the summer. One step outside- you’ll get drenched. Put some ice on your inner wrists. Will keep you chilled. Anxiety causes your own personal island in the sun - cue sweat…. And suddenly… always carry ice water with you. Learn where the hot points are- wrists, temples, feet. Don’t drink alcohol. It’s not worth getting night sweats … personal fans are a God send.
Just my $1.50 ….

Hi
You may want to try acupuncture.
It helps alleviate hot flashes and no night sweats.

There is not much info here. Don't know if you have consulted a gyno or menopause specialist. I am assuming that you are not on hrt/bhrt.
