Having hot flashes and night sweats for 7 years must be yucky . Please contact a good family doctor or an internal medicine specialist in your area. You should have a complete medical examination . There are treatments that may help , but it is important to work closely with a good family doctor. I'm glad they 've done a hormonal analysis , worse you may require thyroid studies , analysis of blood glucose and other tests and analysis. If it really ends up being anxiety , there are also drug treatments that can help .
