Power Surges-Hot Flashes

Hello all. Just wondering if anyone had a therory as to why when we lay down or recline in a comfy chair this position triggors those darn Power Surges or Hot Flashes? This seems to be the norm in my case. I will occassionaly have hot flashes when in the upright position while walking etc. but not as often. I have also noticed if I am near someone who is putting off more heat than I am,.my body responds like a conductor and seems to draw from their body temp which triggors a Hot-Flash. Example: Hubby can be sitting next to me with his arm around me and Whamo!...here comes the Hot-Flash...or..Typing with Lap top computer on my lap,..lap top gets warm and Whamo!...Hot-Flash!. Sleeping in same bed with hubby is avoided, if arms or legs touch for any period of time..Whamo!..Hot-Flash...It's horrible. I have had my Thyroid checked and all is well there. I have noticed when working in the yard or doing things which you would expect to break a sweat, I sweat a great deal more than I used to. I think my internal thermostat is broken.

I didn't have the positional thing, my hot flashes occur in all positions. But any heat will trigger them. No fun. And I know my hot flashes are not as bad as some of my friends.
