hot flashes at the age of 20

I am only 20 and i get these really bad hot flashes and i know i am too young to be going through menopause... Could this be a side effect of the depovera shot i am on... or could this be a sign of not getting enough activity or being over weight??? i just want to know what is causing these hot flashes

This is basicly my life to except in about 2 months I gained 68 LBS with no diet or excersise change. I have had my thyroid tested over 4 times and a sonogram to see if there was anything wrong. I have recently started also noticing unwanted hair growing in places it shouldn't be! I have to shave under my arm pits daily and by the time I get home from work they need it again and If I don't have them covered up it is like some one put sand paper under there. I can't find a dr. who can help me solve the problem because they think I am making a big deal out of these issues but I am not! I swell so bad when I have these hot flashes and my feet go numb! I am lost and don't know what to do! Any insight would be great.

yeah, i get the same thing, even if i'm just lazing on the couch. I'm only 16, i'm 5 foot 7, and only weigh 54kg's... so i'm not over weight. i really have no idea what it is, but it's really annoying for situations in public and at school etc. I have very low blood pressure, which means i get dizzy alot, but i cannot find anything about it being related to this. :(

I am 19 &&I have a 16 month old baby. I recently started getting hot flashes &&I get them all the time. they get me running to the bathroom feeling sick or undressing as much as possible.  I am on the birth control the IUD. I haven't had my period in about 9, maybe 10 months. I am worried what's wrong with me. especially after reading all the other girl's comments.. it couldnt be menopause could it.?
