Is it normal to get hot flashes during menopause? what do hot flashes feel like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many women do: Some women don't, but hot flashes are very common in menopause (though there are many things that can cause hot flashes, that are not hormonal). They feel like a sudden spreading heat sensation, along the skin surface, usually involving the head, neck, chest, ears, and often the skin flushes (turns red).
