Anxiety?: It may be that you are suffering from anxiety and increased muscle tension related to it. However, i think you should monitor your temperature and blood pressure. You say labs were normal, did this include white blood cells and tsh?Think about maintaining a consistent dietary schedule and obtaining enough sleep. Hot flashes are a function of vasodilation and this is caused by a variety of factors!
