.It refers to a hot flash that manifests spontaneously and has an intense

 The feeling of warmth with no reason is to be identified. It usually occurs simultaneously with the acceleration of heart rate and increasing skin temperature. Even sweating may accompany it.

Hot flashes are common among women and we’ve heard them talk about how greatly they interfere with their lives, from interfering with day-to-day activities and even disturbing sleep quality. These flashes tend to occur during midnight for many, making it harder for the people to fall asleep afterwards.

What Causes Hot Flashes?

Unfortunately, despite the high frequency of hot flashes, which affects a very high percentage of women, very little is known about the cause of hot flashes. For many years, science had no insight as to why this happened or how to influence it. Although we have learned more in recent years, much of the mechanism of hot flashes is still a mystery.

Most women describe an unexpected discomfort in their chest as a heart flash. However, there is no known medical condition known as such. A heart flash could occur because of hot flashes or heart palpitations, both are common throughout the menopausal transition.

They may experience sudden warmth or heat that shoots across their chests during a hot flash; they feel it envelops their entire being soon after. Without knowing this is triggered by the brain, they may mistake the feeling as something they could explain as a heart flash. Also, in case there are palpitations of the heart, short breath just comes all of a sudden plus a racing heart for no apparent reason, that might lead a woman to believe that she is undergoing something that could be explained as a heart flash.
