Hi. Hot flashes with stomach upsets at you age can be due to pre-menopause.  The taste buds at the back of the tongues are in fact the lingual tonsils and may be enlarged due to cracked tongue with attendant infection. A good oral hygiene and a course of antibiotic and local/ topical antifungal will help you to clear the issue.
