What Causes Burning Sensation In The Arms Upon Walking Fast?
When I exert, like walk fast or up a hill etc, I start to get a burning sensation in my arms below the elbows and throat and upper chest. Then after a minute rest I can continue to walk or mow the lawn etc. I had radiation and chemo for gastric cancer as well as 75% of my stomach removed last year but this started just the end of Feb and has not gone away.

When we do strenuous physical activity our catecholamine adrenergic system is active which results in production of high ATP and other high energy compounds.This might lead to feeling of heat in various body parts .
