re: flushed feeling in my face....

45 is a bit young for "feeling old"... except for women. Worry about aging after 65. Watch and seem if there is any connection with what you eat or drink. I finally realized that just one or two glasses of red wine left me feeling slightly off all the next day. Vodka not so. Also watch out for mono-sodium glutamate. It is getting added to a lot of spice mixes now. If that is impacting you, the flush feeling should come shortly after meals.
