Doubt it. : The irregular rhythm can mean atrial fibrillation, a condition that can be intermittent enough that a routine cardiac work up might miss it. A blood pressure that high should be evaluated right away, even intermittently . I would suggest seeing your doctor as soon as convenient. A "male hot flash" would not explain this.

I'm a 16-year-old male. I get hot flashes many times a day during both day and night. They last anywhere from 10 seconds to around 5 minutes and cause my head and neck to sweat and sometimes turn completely red. What could be causing this?
