Hot flashes: If hot flashes occur at other times in a young woman's menstrual cycle, then it might be a symptom of a problem with the pituitary gland and seeing a doctor is highly recommended. Hormonal changes, not just in menopause can be causative. Thyroid disorders may be indicative as well, Get the eval. Best wishes.

Many possibilities: This could be related to many things, including hormonal fluctuations, but it would not be from menopause at your age. I advise following up with your physician for a complete assessment and possible blood tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.
