๐ก๏ธ What Could Be Causing Flushing? ๐ก๏ธ
Flushing (a sudden feeling of warmth and redness in the skin, often on the face, neck, or chest) can be more than just a reaction to temperature changes or emotions. Several medical conditions may cause frequent or unexplained flushing:
๐ธ Hormonal Changes
Menopause, hormonal imbalances, or thyroid disorders can cause hot flashes and flushing.
๐ธ Carcinoid Syndrome
This rare condition, caused by certain types of tumors, can release hormones that trigger flushing, often along with diarrhea and wheezing.
๐ธ Rosacea
A skin condition that leads to chronic redness and flushing, especially on the face.
๐ธ Allergic Reactions
An allergic reaction to foods, medications, or other allergens can lead to flushing, often alongside itching or swelling.
๐ธ Anxiety & Stress
Emotional triggers like stress and anxiety can lead to flushing as part of the bodyโs โfight or flightโ response.
๐ธ Medications
Certain medications, including those for blood pressure, can cause flushing as a side effect.
If you experience unexplained or frequent flushing, itโs essential to get to the root cause. Dr. Marco Scarci, a thoracic specialist , can provide a comprehensive evaluation to help you understand and address this symptom.
