Hot Flashes at 26 ye: hot flashes is not common at 26 years of age. With your other symptoms of anxiety. Poor sleep, you need to be evaluated for hormonal imbalance including thyroid dysfunction. Do you have a history of anxiety, depression or bipolar illness. If you do, you may need to go see a psychiatrist to adjust your medications or start you on some. If you are otherwise healthy see a GYN.

Thyroid: Given your age, could be thyroid issues, of which you should see your doc for full evaluation. Your doc could also check for other causes, but the thyroid, when not working properly, can give you all of the symptoms you described & if it is thyroid, whether under active or overactive, there is treatment for it & the symptoms should improve. Hope this helps & ask, if you have further questions.
