Hot flashes in my face

I don't know if anyone else is dealing with this, but for the last week, I’ve been waking up with this intense heat in my face. It feels like my skin is literally on fire, and my throat is a little sore too. Why am I feeling this sudden flush? On top of that, I've been running to the bathroom constantly lately, and when I go, it feels like there's this heavy pressure in my lower abdomen. My period is due any day now, but I haven't had any PMS symptoms, so now I'm freaking out that it might actually be pregnancy—especially since my flow has been totally normal for the last two months. Please, if anyone has advice, let me know.

Honestly, this is giving me major E. coli infection vibes. You should totally go get a urine culture done—and hey, if they can't get enough of a sample for the test, definitely ask them to run it again!😉

Is it possible that you're just sleeping in a room that's too hot?

For years now, I’ve felt this way—it’s not really about my cycle or anything related to that, honestly. Even in the dead of winter, I can’t help but sleep with the window wide open; I just don't seem to feel the heat when I'm drifting off.
