To me, this sounds exactly like Hot Flashes!
How old are you?
If you've been having these symptoms for 3-4 years on a milder scale, now they're increasing in severity, that sounds like Hot Flashes for sure.
Everything you describe, I use to have, when a hot flash starts to come on. I would feel my heart rate go up, the same crawling sensation, and the sudden heat .. which causes you to throw off covers, open windows .. gosh I could even stand in the SNOW and be hot. Yup, to me this sounds just like it.
The years previous, when they were milder, you may have been in mild peri-menopause, but now you may be approaching menopause. It depends on your age, if you're still young, you may still be in peri-menopause, but it's just getting worse, which happens.
And yes, got the 'hot' back to 'cold' again too ... sometimes I just got the extreme cold, even freezing, no matter how many blankets I used.
Hate to say, if this is what it is .... it hangs on for a few more years, depending on how old you are, family history of menopause, etc.
That's just my thoughts anyway .. can't tell you for sure, but it sounds SO much like Hot Flashes and Peri-Menopause.
