Hopefully, someone here can help me out.I posted on a different board and was told to try here. The past week, I have been getting flushed in the cheeks and feel very warm in the face. One night, my entire face was flushed. It really concerns me because I have been stressed at work and don't know if this is blood pressure or what. When I was younger, this would happen to me every so often and it just started up again. I have been at more stressful jobs and yet it didn't happen then-only now. The only thing that I can think of that I did differently is for the past 2 months I have been skipping the non-active birth control pills and going right into the next month(to skip my periods-got doctor's approval) I actually called in sick yesterday(the Sat before Xmas and I am a retail manager-I will hear about THAT I'm sure!) and was fine. The only other time that I noticed that I get flushed is when I drink-but not always. I was out with a friend this evening and it happened again I didn't drink any alcohol either...and it seems as if it's usually on the right side of my face and neck. It's weird. I really can't find much online-but then, I don't know if I'm looking in the right place. Any input would help me out! Thanks!!

Doesn't sound like stress or panic attacks, since this is the only sypmtom you have. Maybe get checked out by your doc.
