Is There a Connection Between Anxiety and Hot Flashes?
Some women have observed that when they are worried or anxious, their hot flashes are more intense and frequent. This observation was also confirmed in an article in the June 2005 issue of Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Society.
Many lifestyle elements, such as exercise, stress, diet and anxiety are very important in how a woman experiences hot flashes in menopause. In the article, moderately anxious women experienced three times as many hot flashes as women who considered themselves as on a low scale of anxiety. Women who were considered highly anxious had five times as many hot flashes!
