Do you think I should change BC pills? Any other suggestions? Hot flashes may be caused by other conditions -- thyroid, malaria (have you traveled out of hte country), side effect of other medications, obesity, vascular disorders like Raynaud's, for one. Actually, the birth control pills usually help hot flashes! You may need additional testing. -- M. Kelly Shanahan, MD, FACOG S.
