I am getting frustrated w/ my doctor. I have Hep C so he blames all problems on that. I have had a hysterectomy and now have terrible hot flashes but because I am a smoke he will not give me anything for that. I have a dozen nodules in/on my thyroid but my blood levels are in the high side of normal so I do not take a thyroid medicine. I have fybromalgia that I take gabapentin and tramadol for. For well over a year now I have been having these episodes where I become very hot, shaky, nauseous, and feel like I am going to pass out. They are getting worse. I am having severe headaches. They say I am not diabetic. Twice in the last 3 weeks it has felt like someone flipped me sideways and I have about fallen. It only happens for a few seconds. I am becoming very frightened by all of this. I have a doctor appt. tomorrow. But I don t know if he will listen to me
Thanks for your query at ChatDoctorAccording to your history you have undergone hysterectomy that could be a possible cause of your hot flushes, etc. You seem to be having some hormonal problem. You must visit a gynecologist and get investigated for hormonal tests. Furthermore, you might need hormone replacement therapy. I would like to add Chat Doctor.  But you get you viral title done at 6 monthly basis and regular follow up. Can you guide me on your prior treatment? Take care!
