Question:
During a "hot flash" and you have a temp of 100?
Answer:
Your question is not clear. However, a hot flash is due to lack of sufficient estrogen production by the ovaries. As a result of this, the "thermostat" in the brain goes haywire and the blood rushes to the surface of the skin causing the "heat and flush" sensation Normally, the body temperature obtained by a thermometer put under the tongue or armpit is not high.
