Not uncommon: If you can live with it I would just ignore it. If you feel as if you can't breath, get chest pain or tightening of your throat you may want to do something about this. excessive sympathetic nervous system outflow is the cause leading to changes in downstream. The flush is part of the fight or flight response. If on the other hand this occurs without being preceded by anxiety you need a work up.
