??? for the ladies

I am currently taking 25 mg Coreg & 5 mg Lisinopril after having my implant 2 months ago. I'm also 54 YO and postmeno. I had the occasional hot flash (power surge!) prior to all this but now it's just nuts! I feel them coming on & grab my fan to try & head them off - sometimes it works, sometimes not. The above meds are the only change (besides the little hunk of metal in my chest) that I've made. Thank God fall is here! I'm not wild about winter but this year it's looking pretty good! Could the meds be causing this? I saw the cardio doc today but forget to mention it. Besides I learn more here...

I'm sorry you're having so many hot flashes!

The first link is a lot more complete but I don't understand half what it says, lol. The second doesn't say anything about hot flashes.

Interesting about sugar

I've needed a good excuse to cut down on sugar consumption (You just don't give up chocolate for no good reason do you?) so maybe I'll give this a try. Also thanks Tracey - I'll check out those links. Thanks for the responses!
