flushed feeling in my face....

Just got done w my annual doctor visit. 45, blood work looked great according to Dr. But I told him the last several weeks I've had this flushed feeling in my face and kinda "medicine" headed foggy feeling. His only suggestion was to cut back on coffee and alcohol and see if it makes a difference. I usually drink 2-3 cups per morning and then a couple glasses of wine at night with the wife. He said it could be anxiety or stress. I guess I'm just paranoid I'm gonna stroke out.
Anyone else experience this? Just a normal part of getting older?

I’ve had weird head feelings for a while like slight dizziness that comes and goes, some lethargy, flushed feeling, ringing in the ears. Doctor said it’s sinusitis which is fluid buildup behind the ear drums. It’s a huge nuisance but nothing threatening. Just makes me feel tired and off.

What was your BP at the visit?

normal BP. I do have the at home machine and every time i use it, that machines says it is elevated, but Dr. said those usually don't work very well.

You take B vitamins? Specifically Niacin by chance?
I was taking B supplements and getting flushed in the face and neck. Stopped taking that and it went away almost immediately.

That's a common side effect of B vitamins.
OP if you are really worried about cardiovascular health. Ask you GP to order a calcium score. Its a good baseline test in cardiovascular health. Its usually $100 out of pocket

I get it in the winter when I go from hot to cold temperatures several times in a day. My face feels like it’s hot and red and everyone ask if I’m ok.

I get this sometimes too. Kind of like your body doesn't adjust to the temp change as quickly as it should.

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.

It seems to come often after a night of wine. Like last night. Had 3 glasses of white w the wife.
ETA- or sudden coffee/caffeine irritation?
Only had 2, 6 oz cups this morning.
Anyway it’s bothering me.

Isn't alcohol a presser? Can you eliminate the wine for a bit and see how it goes?

It’s from the sulfites in the wine.
