hot flashes
Everyone was close, but "hot flashes" is how we say it around here. You can use the singular "hot flash" when describing a single event, but in this context the plural would be more appropriate.

flushing / hot flushes
In the context I would suggest "flushing" or "hot flushes" (pl.). "Hot flash" would be US usage.

It is clear that there are two alternative terms, to a certain extent interchangeable. But for the UK flush is more common, and for the US, flash, so this should no doubt be the basis for the choice for Robert (then whether singular, plural or gerund). I´ll add just a couple of the many suitable references.
