There are some hormonal imbalances and thyroid or other metabolic dysfunctions that can cause your hot flashes. If they continue, you may want to get some blood work done.

Thyroid, blood glucose, and the other hormones plus B-12 and folate are a good start. A fasting glucose test would be worthwhile.

My glucose can cycle wildly from time to time. With it comes hot flashes and moodiness. I have been experiencing this wild cycling the past two weeks for the first time in a long while. Likely caused by a screw-up with my meds from three weeks ago.
