Check your blood pressure.  Sometimes when your BP is up you can feel hot all over, like you are having a fever at times.

Are you and meds for anxiety?? If so, it is likely that which is causing the "hot flashes"....it's quite common actually when you're on anti-depressants. Years ago, when taking anti-depressants for post-partum depression, I was getting these so bad that on a -20* day I could walk outside and STILL break out in a sweat!! Docs thought I was going thru early menopause & had me tested...found out that it was all the anti-depressants.  I get them now again after being put on meds for anxiety...not as bad, but I still get them...they suck!!!

Hey Brandon -- yes this used to happen to me too.  I believe it is the body's reaction to an increase in blood pressure due to anxiety.  I still get sorta "warm" from time-to-time -- but I used to get very "hot" at times too.  I believe your body will eventually work itself right.  Good luck.  Shannon
