  • It sounds like menopause. Try using two duvets, one for you and one for him. You can throw yours off when you need to.


  • I’m still experiencing menopausal hot flushes and I’m very frustrated by them. They are not letting up at all. I’m considering going to my gp and having hormone therapy.


  • I’ve been having hot flushes due to menopause. I recently read of 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water daily helps to reduce them. If there’s no change after a couple of weeks, up the dose to twice a day. The vinegar needs to be the one that includes the mother for optimal health benefits. I’ve only been trying it for 3 days so can’t report on if it’s working. It’s also supposed to be good for B.O. Wiped in the arm pits and left over night. I haven’t tried that one yet, but I’m planning to


  • Some months ago I suffered of hot flushes too. The GP prescribed me hormonal exams and told me I am in menopause (I am 51). But after 4 months without periods, I started menstruating again. And the hot flushes disappeared. They were quite annoying, in particular during the night. So I went to bed with a very light shirt. I took magnesium one hour before going to bed, but I don’t think it helped much.


  • A Women’s service may be useful too?


  • Sounds like you are going through menopause!


  • A visit to a GP when this occurs or anything unusual occurs is a good idea. A GP will be able to assist with figuring out what is going on.


  • I too was going to suggest menopause and was hoping also to read some advice as I am going through that wonderful time of life. i will try the sunflower seeds as I do like them anyway. I would still go to the Doctor and get things checked out as they can be symptoms for other problems too especially if you are not at that age.


  • Looks like you a female reaching that age. A Change maybe coming early. Seek medical advice, dont put off another day. GOOD LUCK


  • What age are you ? When it are menopausel hot flushes, the I found this article quite helpful https://www.healthline.com/health/menopause/understanding-hot-flashes#herbs


  • You should make an appointment to discuss it with yr GP. They will be able to organise blood tests to check for infection & hormone levels. You don’t mention yr age but old women suffer hot flushes as a result of menopause, could also be related to pregnancy & other issues such as thyroid levels.
    I suffer hot flushes badly partly from menopause but mostly because I had a brain injury that left me me with a list of things that no longer work but I won’t go that other to say that it affected my ability to control my body temp & caused thyroid problems.
    There are many reasons for hot flushes & all I can say is wear whatever is comfy for you for bed until you can talk to a doctor about it & if it is really affecting yr partner perhaps use a spare bed till you can find out what is causing it. I am fortunate that I am single so it doesn’t affect anyone’s sleep but my own & I wear light clothing for bed even in winter & have a hand towel close for when I do wake up hot. I also have a fan in my room but that might affect yr partner, perhaps have 1 on yr side of the room?


  • Hot flushes – wear cotton tops that can unbutton, no sleeves and cardigans or jumpers that you can undo at the front, to cool off when needed.


  • Do sunflower seeds have magnesium in them? Because I was told almonds are good for hot flushes, along with ground flax seed. That’s for menopausal hot flushes anyway. I haven’t tried so can’t say if they help or not


  • I was also hoping to see some answers. I don’t know if this will help you with your hot flushes but many years ago when I was pregnant one of my work mates was going through menopause so we were both were having hot flushes. We found that eating sunflower seeds helped with the hot flushes.
