While hot flashes are practically synonymous with perimenopause, some women experience the other extreme.
That no matter how many fluffy clothes you layer on, you just can’t warm yourself up.
You might even be in a warm room, minding your own business, and suddenly feel like you’ve been magically transported to the top of a freezing mountain.
Sometimes cold flashes come on the heels of a hot flash when damp, sweaty clothes only serve to chill you even more.
Other times, they come alone and mysteriously, making you shiver out of the blue.
While these cold flashes usually pass within a few minutes, they can last for up to 20 minutes and are more common at night.
Much like their hotter cousin hot flashes, cold flashes are similarly caused by the hormonal turmoil going on in your body.
As estrogen levels drop during menopause, the hypothalamus — the part of your brain responsible for regulating your body temperature — becomes overly sensitive.
It starts releasing chemicals that alert your body that it’s overheating. The body responds promptly by shedding heat, not knowing whether it should or not, and voilà, Cold Flash!
Although they’re less common than hot flashes, cold flashes are equally annoying to deal with, especially at night.
During the day, it’s on and off and on and off with the jumper as you go between hot and cold in mere seconds.
At night, imagine bundling yourself up so thick because you’re freezing cold, only to wake up in the morning all hot and clammy. What an annoyingly sticky situation!
Given how rare a decent night's sleep can be during this time of life, and how blazingly hot the weather is nowadays…
Learning how to manage cold flashes may be helpful.
Here are some preventive measures & solutions you can start trying today to help even out your body temperature:
Limit caffeine and alcohol— Not only can they disrupt your sleep, but these substances also influence your body’s temperature regulation system.
Avoid sugar, spicy foods, and nicotine — They’re all potential triggers for cold or hot flashes.
Get active — When you’re right in the middle of a cold flash, get up and start moving. This will increase blood flow to help warm you up.
Slip on socks — If cold flashes persistently haunt you at night, keeping your feet snug and warm with some comfortable socks may help.
Be prepared — Leaving a jumper at work, or in the car can come in handy when a cold flash strikes.
Bringing along a fresh set of clothes to change into can also help if you’re all damp and clammy from the aftermath of a hot flash, which will certainly set off a cold flash.
At night, prepare and keep extra blankets close by. Trying a brand new moisture-wicking bedding and pajamas can help too.
PS. Similarly to hot flashes, cold flashes can be kept at bay as long as you maintain hormonal balance.
The best way to do that naturally, other than taking HRT which can be harsh on the body, is by introducing natural herbs into your diet.
Not just any herb, you need phytoestrogenic herbs that help ease the effects of low-estrogen like Turmeric & Moringa Leaf — which research shows can not only soothe hot & cold flashes, but also reduce their occurrences!
