    Hot flushes are a common symptom of menopause. It can also cause higher levels of anxiety/low mood, so I would assume it's a bit of both your anxiety and menopause. 

    On on the NHS website, they suggested doing these things to avoid this symptom of menopause:

    wearing light clothing 

    keeping your bedroom cool at night 

    taking a cool shower, using a fan or having a cold drink 

    trying to reduce your stress levels

    avoiding potential triggers, such as spicy food, caffeine, smoking and alcohol 

    taking regular exercise and losing weight if you're overweight

    hope this helps x
