seriously terrible hot flashes at 20?

[Night♥Owl]

just like the ones I had shortly after my son was borne, you know, all those hormones crashing?
Anyway, I have been getting them a lot lately, and it's getting too intense. I get so hot that I start to feel nauseous. Sometimes they even give me headaches. I'm pretty susceptible to migraines, so this happening is a huge deal to me. I have longish hair, so sometimes it makes the hot flashes worse. And I've notice that on days I haven't had the chance to shower, I get hotter easily.
My son is over a year now, about 16 months, so I don't know if it's due to hormones. I have heard that it can take up to 2 years for your body to fully balance out. Which brings me to this... I have extremely irregular periods. Sometimes to to stress, other times due to I don't know what, it's a mystery.
I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant now, since I'm on my period. This period was almost 2 months late.
So now you know.
Do you have any idea what could be causing these horrendous hot flashes?

Same exact thing happened to me, I went from dr. to dr. telling them I was going through menapause early but couldn't convince them of it. I am 31 had a baby 3 years ago and it happened since he was born also. Finally someone believed me and they put me on birth control and it helped, they are now gone...I also started drinking more water, so it's either the water or the birth control. I am on Yaz and my insurance doesn't cover it but it's worth it. It's about $50 a month. It also regulated my periods. Good luck, I know it sucks!
