Perimenopause: These are normal symptoms during the perimenopausal transition. There is no need for treatment if symptoms are mild. However if you have irregular and heavy bleeding or disabling night sweats and hot flashes, then see your obgyn to discuss treatment options

Normal: This sounds like the normal menopausal transition. There are several options out there to help with the hot flashes now. Talk to your doctor about what is right for you. Good luck. It does get better.
