Patient's question:
I am 57 years old. A few years ago, I had severe hot flashes and sweating. Recently, I have had very severe lower back pain (I had a herniated disc a few years ago). I am particularly afraid of wind; whether it's my lower back or head, I feel the wind everywhere.Doctor's answer:
