What does in mean when someone has goosebumps and are hot too?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Temperature control: Goosebumps are a response to some type of nerve stimulus. We get them when we are cold as a way to warm our bodies just like shivering. When hot, it can create more surface area to cool. It is also known as piloerection.

Menopause, maybe?: That's the likely answer in a 45 year old. Your doc can check.
