A member asked:
What could be a reason a post menopause female gets hot when it is 55 degrees and doing a light walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check thyroid: At 60, you should be way past the peak of hot flashes (usually early 50s). You may need to have your thyroid checked, as thyroid disease becomes more prevalent as we age.
