Is Constant Heat In The Upper Torso Related To Epilepsy?
I have been diagnosed with epilepsy and asked my consultant if this constant heat in my upper body mostly head and arms are linked and all I got was a shrug of the shoulders. My gp has tested my thyroid and that is normal. He ran other tests and nothing showers up. I need help.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern. No, Epilepsy has nothing to do with heat sensations of upper torso.
Such sensations are seen with vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 deficiency.
So get done serum levels of vitamin B 12 and vitamin d 3.
If they are low then you will need supplements.
Once these vitamins are normal, you will improve.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
