My flashes always just came out of nowhere... except if it got exceptionally hot in my classroom (which happened regularly because of a horrible heating system). That seemed to be the only trigger I could ever figure out. So, I just got a bigger water bottle and began to drink from it copiously, as soon as I felt the first aura of a flash. Occasionally, I would sneakily pour some water onto my hand and splash my face. I don't put it outside of the realm of possibility that chocolate could cause them. Caffeine has been implicated, so...
I regularly had a hot flash, every morning upon awakening, for 10+ years. In fact, despite the fact I have been post menopausal for almost 13 years, it still happens if I am sick.
