Welcome to HCM.Cervical/upper thoracic spinal nerve root compression or radiculitis could cause a burning sensation or paraesthesias in the upper back,local skin disease needs to be ruled out.A examination by a neurologist and imaging studies(MRI SCan of the cervical and thoracic spine) would help rule out such problems.Acute anxiety and stress may simulate similar symptoms.
