A member asked:

Im a 77 yr old female. i wake up with red cheeks that fades after a minute or 2 for the last couple of weeks. also when i bend over my cheeks go red. could it be dehydration?

If you're feeling well with no fever, not taking any vasidilator medications, not having alcohol related facial redness,not sleeping in an overheated bedroom, then I would attribute the red cheeks to hormonal reactions seen in menopausal women.

It is not dehydration. Cheeks can go red when you bend over and hold your breath or sleep on one . If it persists pl see your MD
