  1. Hi With the hot flushes which are extreme I am getting pressure all over my chest area similar to the effect of blood pressure machine starting on arm ,when this pressure on chest stops the sweating starts .anyone else experience this ?

  • Hello  

    That's a new one on me. I've had some serious hot flushes but that's not a side effect I have had.

    I think that's a question for your Consultant or CNS.

    I hope you get an answer.

    Best wishes - Brian.
