i guess i'm going to assume you've been evaluated several times by health care professionals. just because no one has given you a diagnosis yet doesn't mean you should stop searching for one. i can think of a number of conditions that could cause hot flashes in a young woman. obviously estrogen levels could play a role but so could thyroid levels. if your hormones all check out ok then you may simply need to wait and see if any other symptoms develop. are you an introvert by any chance? introverted people tend to have a narrower range of temperatures at which they feel comfortable. introverts may "feel hot" when temperatures aren't particularly warm or they may "feel cold" when the temperature isn't frigid. note that "introverted" does not mean "shy. " introversion > extroversion is an energy continuum. extroverts charge their mental and emotional batteries by socializing. introverts recharge by engaging in quiet alone time. if the latter description fits you then your hot flashes may simply be related to your temperament. interesting no? still don't fail to continue following up on your symptoms. in some cases it can take years to reach a diagnosis. if you do have hormone problems for example perhaps they haven't fully revealed themselves yet. you should continue to pursue answers. you deserve them!
