Hi My wife has heat coming out of the top of her head. She is 55 and post menopausal for many years. Is this probably hormonal?

Hi Mack, Welcome to the forum. I know that I had that issue a lot when I went through menopause. It could be hormonal.

Howdy Mack. What a sweet husband to do research.

Menopause can cause a myriad of symptoms and being hot is one of them. It would be literally freezing outside and I would be in shorts.

For years I was the woman that said, "Please roll up your window" as we drove down the street. Menopause and I was turning on the air conditioner the minute I got in the car.

I always hogged the covers at night. Menopause and those covers were like a revolving door - off and then on, off and then on.

Having menopause is likened to having a broken thermostat in your car. But it isn't a part that you can replace. Just time and patience and everything will level out and the sage woman will be there.

My estrogen and progesterone levels are at the bottom of the barrel due to having a hysterectomy and currently not on hormone replacement therapy. It is hard for me to distinguish what are hormone issues and what is due to Lyme. I go from sweating to freezing in a matter of seconds.

I know my response doesn't help, but menopause and Lyme symptoms can overlap a lot. ☹️️ After trying all kinds and doses of hormone therapy with no success, my doctor started looking for something systemic and it was Lyme.
