Last March, I had a total knee replacement. There were complications due to blood clots and I was put on Cumudin for about nine weeks.
Since that time I have had real trouble with my head and face overheating and literaly running with perspiration. Sometimes this happens when I just go up a flight of stairs - sometimes with slightly more exertion. I also frequently awaken very warm and sweaty. Then my whole body gets so hot I am somewhat incapacItated.
I am post-menopausal - since I was 38 and I am now 57. I have no idea what system of the body may be causing these symptoms and I don't know who to talk with about it.
I will apprecaite any guidance you can give me - so that i can get apporopriate help with this problem.
Thank you

 Hi,
There are quite a few causes quoted to explain rises of facial temperature with or without associated sweating.
- 'Bruxism': Bruxism may be defined as "a habitual behavior, and a sleep disorder wherein the affected person tends to clench the teeth over prolonged peroids or makes chewing movements of the jaws intermittently, day or night."
Prolonged bruxism could result in a continuously raised blood flow within the masseter muscle in one or both sides of the face.
- Some experimantal studies have shown an increased facial temperature, esp temperature of the nose during increased mental workloads.
- Finally, one should mention the role of Anxiety & Panic Attacks in the causation of increased facial temperatures.
You must get yourself examined by your doctor who will then be able to guide you.
Best wishes!
