Hello XXXXXX,

Thanks for your query.

The presence of symptoms like burning sensation in head & feet can be due to:
1. Thyroid dysfunction
2. Peripheral neuropathy
3. Diabetes
4. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, etc. which also interferes with blood formation & nerve conduction
5. Prolonged intake of certain drugs

Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood sugar levels & Thyroid profile will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

So, it will be better to consult your General Physician & get a proper physical examination done to find out the exact cause.
Based on that, appropriate management steps could be taken.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.

Wishing you a good health.

Let me know if I need to clarify further.

Thanks & take care.
