Can energy drinks cause hot flashes?

It is possible, but whether energy drinks bring on hot flashes is specific to you. There is surprisingly little research on this exact connection, and energy drinks affect hot flashes in some people and not in others. The only reliable way to know your own answer is to track energy drinks and hot flashes together for two to three weeks and look for the pattern in your own data.

Why there's no one-size answer

What shapes how you feel has obviously not been studied, but more important, many combinations of things have simply not risen to the level of attention in scholarly research that is needed to say with certainty how they are related. Bodies differ. Energy drinks might affect hot flashes for another person and do nothing to you. The only data that settles it is your own.
