    Flushing (physiology)

    For a person to flush is to become markedly red in the face and often other areas of the skin, from various physiological conditions. Flushing is generally distinguished, despite a close physiological relation between them, from blushing, which is milder, generally restricted to the face, cheeks or ears, and generally assumed to reflect emotional stress, such as embarrassment, anger, or romantic stimulation. Flushing is also a cardinal symptom of carcinoid syndrome—the syndrome that results from hormones (often serotonin or histamine) being secreted into systemic circulation.

    Causes

  • fever
  • alcohol flush reaction
  • an abrupt cessation of physical exertion (resulting in heart output in excess of current muscular need for blood flow)
  • emotions: anger, embarrassment (for this reason it is also called erythema pudoris, from the Latinized Greek word for "redness" and the Latin "of embarrassment")
  • sexual arousal, especially orgasm, (see section to follow)
  • inflammation (for example, caused by allergic reaction or infection)

    Flush

    by: Motley Crue

    I, I'm feeling rot
    I'm feeling rotten today
    I guess I forgot
    I am shot, I'm not okay
    So long to pain
    So long to games
    So long say, goodbye
    Someone tell me why I'm feeling cold inside
    Do I wanna, do I wanna die
    Someone tell me why it's building up inside
    Do I wanna die and kiss it all goodbye
    I'm a sinking ship
    On a sea of bliss, I'm not okay
    I I'm blind to this
    Is this just a test to help me see
    So long to you
    So long to me
    So long say goodbye
    Someone tell me why I'm feeling broke inside
    Do I wanna, do I wanna die
    Can you tell me why it's building up inside
    Do I wanna die, kiss it all goodbye
    You're the reason I would live
    I hope that you can give me this
    You're the reason
    So long to pain
    So long to games
    So long say goodbye
    Can you tell me why I'm feeling dead
    Do I wanna, do I wanna die
    Someone tell why, it's building up inside
