No, and mine are unrelated to what I eat but it could be related to insulin rise if it's caused by stress, etc. It's literally just facial flushing. I don't feel hot or anything. My allergist noticed it and wanted to test me for all kinds of rare mast cell disorders. I declined and finally figured out it's just related to perimenopause. Doctor's offices will trigger it (maybe the chemicals?). My face burns a little and I get very red but that's it. I don't have the night sweats or anything like that. I'm Irish and very prone to facial flush anyway but this is way more intense.
