Palms of hands keep flushing red

Hi all! I am not sure if I am putting this into the right category but I am not sure what this is! Any way, I keep having hot flushes and when it happens I get a prickly heat feeling all over and the palms of my hands flush red and clammy and I feel as if my skin has been scalded. I also have another symptom that is connected to it. I feel as if I am throbbing all over and when I have these hot flushes the throbbing gets worse. I have had ME for over 25 years but in all that time the throbbing has never stopped. It seems to get worse when I relapse and in remission it feels less but is still there. Over the years I've noticed this throbbing is made worse when I stand up and have a hot bath. I have wondered if it is connected to Pots?I do have POTs but it has become a lot milder in the last year and I rarely feel faint any more when I stand up but I do feel faint when I get too hot.

No I am not any supplements with niacin. I do get muscle twitching though. The hot flushing started with the virus infection.
