I have had a handful of severe flushes, not just hot flashes. When I have one, it usually starts with heart flutters or feeling of reflux or something stuck in my throat. Then, I feel prickly burning on my face and arms. My face and arms become very red and look like I am having an allergic reaction. They go away in about an hour after. It leaves me feeling very anxious. I have been going through perimenopause for the last 3 years. I have had about 6 of the above described incidences over these 3 years. I am certain it is something very bad. I have another doctor appointment on Thursday because I want to check if I have a carcinoid tumor. Please help!!!

      I thank you Toria. I am just so worried. Having horrible migraine last 3 days too. Feeling depressed. Just got done bawling my eyes out. Now got to try to get up out of the bed at 4:30 pm.

      Are you any better today?
