How do you know the difference between hot flushes with lukemia and hot flushes in the change
Comments

A hot flush is a hot flush, there is no difference between any of them. I'm no medical expert and we can't give any medical advice here on the community because it's against the rules. If you have any concerns about your health then you need to speak to your GP.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi @Jlee
As poppy123456 has said, it's hard for us to say what might be causing your hot flushes, and your first port of call should be to speak to your GP. Are you able to make an appointment with your doctor?
I think it'd be a good idea to speak to your GP either way but, for reference, here are some of the other symptoms of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) to look out for, as listed on the NHS website:Symptoms of AML can include:- skin looking pale or "washed out"
- tiredness
- having a high temperature, and feeling hot or shivery (fever)
- sweating a lot
- losing weight without trying
- frequent infections
- unusual and frequent bleeding, such as bleeding gums or nosebleeds
- easily bruised skin
- flat red or purple spots on the skin
- bone and joint pain
- a feeling of fullness or discomfort in your tummy
- swollen glands in your neck, armpit or groin that may be sore when you touch them

If you have already been diagnosed and are concerned about your hot flushes contact your consultant team or clinical nurse specialist.
