hot flushes
Sudden heat waves
Hot flushes are sudden sensations of intense heat, typically affecting the face, neck, and chest, often accompanied by sweating and skin reddening.
They occur most commonly during menopause as hormone levels shift, though they can have other causes.
The experience usually lasts seconds to minutes: She was woken by hot flushes three times last night.
Called hot flashes in American English.
