Are men’s “hot flashes” really a thing?

I’m 54. When I take a shower, or eat, or even think about anything physically active, I sweat like crazy within moments, usually on my back and neck plus the usual places. This is to the point where I often need to change t-shirts within about 5-10 minutes. I usually have to be in t-shirts without a jacket, unless it’s around freezing outside. Inside in my upstairs home office, I need the window open most of the time.

Been experiencing this most noticeable the last 2-3 years.

Not sure if it’s age, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, something else, or a combination of things.
