blood rush to face, ears and cheeks hot, why?
Posted: 12-05-07 17:45pm

Well this isn't too much of a serious question because I'm not worried about it... but over the last few weeks just randomly throughout the day all the blood rushes to my face like I'm blushing. My ears and cheeks get red and hot to the touch, then after a minute or two the blood drains out but my face still feels hot.

It's weird, and it's been happening more frequently. Anyone have any clue why?

I get something very similar, when I stand up to quick I black out and my face feels hot and I blush. My doctor said I have hypotension because of my increased blood volume due to my pregnancy.

What I do that really works well, is when i stand up and fell kinda woozy, I grab a drink and down it... and the next time I stand up I'm fine : ) Just keep hydrated.

Not sure if that helped but, good luck!

you are still losing water from your pregnancy. It's pretty normal. I would wake up sweating to death almost every night. I would break a sweat walking to the bathroom. It lasted for about a month.

I'm always back and forth between freezing cold and sweating hot... so much fun. That sounds exactly what I have. And nothing brings it on either. Just sit there and BOOM, feels like you just got embarrassed. I blame it on the extra volume of blood.
