Question 1

Accepted Answer

ER: If you have had fever and chills, you do feel sick. Go to the Emergency Room. Fever and chills are signs of an infection in your bloodstream. If you are not coughing/short of breath it could be coming from your urine/std or gastrointestinal system or from an abscess somewhere. It could also be a viral illness. Please get medical attention promptly.

Question 3

what's the difference between hot flashes and fever?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal vs Normal: Hot flashes represent thermoregulatory dysfunction due to altered hormone levels . Fever is your body's appropriate response to infection.

Question 4

what is the difference between a fever, a hot flash, and a night sweat?

Accepted Answer

Fever is illness: Fever typically means that your body is fighting an infection and is "heating up" to help your normal cells in the process.  A night sweat is just a nocturnal occurrence of a a hot flush.  This happens in women starting to undergo the menopausal transition.  As estrogen levels fall/fluctuate with declining ovarian function, the brain centers that control body temperature go a bit haywire...

Question 5

for men, are hot flashes that last 3 to 5 minutes then subside, 2 or 3 times a day, the same as a fever? can it indicate infection?

Accepted Answer

Hot flashes: Hot flashes in men are typically due to hormone issues just like they are in women, except it is their testosterone, and high or low cortisol.

Question 6

can some types of infections cause hot flashes and feelings of a fever, but with no actual fever present when temperature is taken?

: An early entry into menopause is more likely explanation than an infection. It would be prudent to consult your gynecologists.

Question 8

Cold part no: The cold part does not sound consistent. See a doctor if you at concerned.

Question 9

is this hot flashes with no sweat? i'm 47 and today i suddenly feel very, very hot & there's a spike in my bp/heartbeat but no fever. is this menopaus

Accepted Answer

Could be: Hot flashes are one of the first signs of the menopausal transition for many women. They are often but not always associated with sweating. They are actually referred to as hot flushes and you or others may notice that your face flushes when you have one. They are more common when you are stressed and are not associated with a fever. Many women say they feel like a furnace inside. Hope this helps.

Question 10

what is the difference between burning hot skin to touch with no fever and hot flashes?

Accepted Answer

Warm surface?: Good question- the context of your question is important. I am assuming this question us asked in a clinic - 
burning hot skin....Very warm skin by touch. 
...Very warm skin on touch and  internally  feeling warm, is the biggest difference with hot flashes.
