A member asked:

I'm having the menopauses so naturally hot flush that comes with that. so why do i so often feel this unbearable, shivering cold?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vasomotor symptoms: Hot flushes result in the perimenopausal or menopausal woman due to thermoregulatory dysfunction. Peripheral dilation of blood vessels occurs with rapid heat dissipation. Core body temperature falls, and then shivering results to restore core temperature to normal. The first-line therapy for intolerable symptoms is estrogen for 2-3 years. Ssris and Gabapentin are possible alternatives.
