I get hot flushes very rarely and they are just 'hot and sweaty for a few seconds' kind of flushes, none of the 'don't know who I am or where I am' kind of stuff. I also get a feeling of light headedness which lasts for a few seconds, almost like I am going to faint, no increased heart rate. This will occur a few times over the course of an hour, if I take a deep, slow breath it goes away but then returns later, it also goes away and doesn't come back if I drink a glass of water.
