Yes it's a flush and it's normal to still have a period and have hot flashes and definitely night sweats.

When I first got flushes/flashes, it started just like yours and I freaked because I thought something was majorily wrong with me until my gyne put that all into prospective.

Thanks ainfante,you have put my mind at rest,i have had so many weird things happen to me over the last 3 years i thought i was either going mad or i was going to die,who would have thought that the menopause could make anyone feel this way.
thanks again

keep well
