For the last month I've been suffering from what feels like a hot flush inside my body which last for 10 minuntes. Symptoms are burning feeling from feet to neck, my legs buckle, I'm dizzy, feel sick and have to lay down wherever I am as I feel I'm going to pass out. Is this normal?

This sounds like a hot flush with a spell of low blood pressure.

It does happen in the menopause, but it would be a good idea to get your blood pressure checked out with the doctor too.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of water every day - away from food to prevent bloating.
