Why do I often blush and feel hot

Many people are troubled by frequent blushing and fever, and they don’t know what causes it. In fact, some people will blush after taking some medicines, and some people will blush after drinking alcohol. Some women will easily blush and fever after entering menopause. You need to understand the cause before solving it.

1. Blushing after taking medicine

Taking some medications can also cause blushing. Song Jiansheng, a pharmacist at Guangxi Youhe Ancient City Pharmacy, said that taking drugs such as nifedipine and nicardipine may dilate the capillaries on the face while dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure, causing some blushing. This is a normal reaction and does not have much impact on health.

2. Blushing indicates that you should not drink alcohol

Blushing is a sign that you should not drink alcohol. People who blush after drinking should not continue drinking, regardless of whether they are drunk or not. After drinking, many Asians' skin on their faces and bodies turns red. This is a result of the accumulation of acetaldehyde produced by alcohol metabolism in the body. Alcohol is broken down into various substances in the human body by various enzymes. If a certain enzyme is lacking or insufficient, acetaldehyde will be easily synthesized. If acetaldehyde accumulates in large quantities, it will cause blushing easily. Acetaldehyde is harmful to the body, so if your face turns red after drinking, it is a reminder for you to stop drinking, otherwise more acetaldehyde will accumulate in your body, causing greater harm.

3. Possible menopause

Some middle-aged women in their 40s find that they often blush involuntarily and cannot find out the reason. Bai Hua, director of the Department of Gynecology at the Guangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital, revealed that if middle-aged women blush, it may be the time of menopause.

4. Possibly due to physical weakness and hyperactivity of liver yang

Luo Hongyu introduced that if some people have a bright red complexion, accompanied by dry mouth, sweating, and athlete's foot, it is a manifestation of yin deficiency; some people have a light red complexion, but their hands and feet are easily cold, and they often have symptoms of chest tightness, back pain, and floating pulse, which is caused by the external overflow of virtual yang; if the elderly have a rosy face, it may be caused by hyperactivity of liver yang in traditional Chinese medicine, which is mainly manifested in the sudden blushing in the afternoon; for people with hyperactivity of liver yang, they can take some Zhengan Xifeng Decoction and Qianyang Dan; for people with insufficient lung yin or kidney yin, they can take some Liuwei Dihuang Pills; for menopausal women, they can take some Xiaoyao Powder, Baihe Dihuang Decoction, and Shengmai Drink to regulate qi and blood.
