Doctors believe that hot flushes and night sweats happen as a result of changing oestrogen levels. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to beat the heat and excessive sweating of menopause. Will I have hot flushes as I approach menopause? Hot flushes are one of the most common signs of perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause. Menopause, when your period stops for good, typically happens between age 45 and 55. Some women experience the heat and flushing without sweating, while others sweat so much they need a change of clothes. When hot flushes happen at night, leaving you and your sheets drenched, they're called night sweats. Dr Heather Currie is a gynaecologist and expert on menopause. She says 85% of women will have hot flushes or night sweats.

This test does not actually look for blockages within the arteries and it does not assess blood flow to the muscle. Rather, it provides information about calcium deposits in the heart artery walls, which often go hand in hand with narrowing of the arteries.
