Anyone ever heard of post-op hot flashes?

I have been doing a lot of research on hot flashes recently. They are beginning to think they are a result of an instability in the vascular system triggered by fluctuations in hormones. The whole thing is poorly understood but I could see where things like pain meds, anesthesia and the like could trigger them.

I recently had major surgery and I encountered more unexpected side effects than I had the past. I think the older you get, the harder it is on your body. :(
