Thanks, ladies for your interesting information. My dad has these awful sensations of being EXTREMELY hot, too. It's not just the females. It frightens me when I'm with my dad and he's sleeping and makes so little noise breathing shallow that I'm not sure he is still breathing, then suddendly a deep loud gasp! Weird. But he does breathe too shallow a lot of the time. Vicki Peyton [log in to unmask]
