Male Hot Flashes at 75yrs old
Everyday at about the same time in the early afternoon I begin to feel hot, my ears burn, I almost feel like I have a slight fever but no pain or other symptoms except I feel flush for about 3 hours. I used to get this same problem when I was 20 to 30 years younger but blamed it on smoking, drinking coffee at the office and general stress. What's the reason now?
I had my testosterone level checked by my doctor who said it was "normal" for a man my age. I'm not so sure. My level is 331. What does this mean to you?
