Well ...: Hot flashes are usually a result of menopause. However, in my career, I've seen anxiety and depression induce just about every symptom imaginable. As well, since pain appears to be amplified by anxiety through the activation of cholecystokininergic system - it's not likely that the anxiety is causing your pain but it might be making it worse. Hope that helps!
