I am NOT suggesting that what I am about to describe is the same as your
condition (yours sounds rather serious), this is just a bit of personal
experience. I have started having hot flashes myself after being on
a low carb diet (not paleo at the time) and I am a male, 33 yo at the time
(35 now). These things come and go for me. As a coincindence, I am having
one right now. They usually happen in the winter time for me and there is
often a long period of time when I don't have any (months). Since they are
not associated with anything negative for me (just a rather interesting
sensation) I have never come to 'dread' them in any sense, though I did
get scared a bit the first time I got one.
