Hot Flashes And Panic Attacks

. It acts as a regulator and controls the temperature of our bodies. It regulates the body temperature with the help of a hormone named estrogen in case of women.

Before menopause this particular hormone in women decreases and this problematizes the normal working of the hypothalamus which results in a rise in body temperature and hot flashes in women. Hot flashes can be compared to panic attacks though there are certain differences. Hot flashes and panic attacks are characterized by symptoms such as rapid breathing, excessive sweating, increased heart rate, nausea, headaches etc.
