60 seconds in menopause video transcript:
Why do you get a hot flush the minute you wake up? This is really common, and there are a number of things going on here to cause this.
The minute you wake up or just before you wake up, your blood pressure rises. Your stress hormone cortisol goes up. That can definitely trigger a hot flush because it's revving up your nervous system.
It can be dehydration. So, you've been all night without anything to drink at all. It can also be low blood sugar levels, too.
So, what can you do to help yourself? The herb Sage is known to help relieve night sweats and hot flushes. So, you can take one Menoforce Sage tablet with your evening meal.

You can take a magnesium supplement as well to deal with the stress. Just relax. Remember to drink some water. And, when you wake up, just for a minute or two instead of jumping right out of bed, just do some gentle, deep breathing and that should make all the difference.
