What Causes Burning Sensation In The Feet , Hands And Arms?
Doctor, I have felt tingling burning sensations in my feet, hands, arms and legs in the last two weeks. Also, I presently feel a tingingly uncomfortable sensation in my throat (AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS GATHERING) but I don't have difficulty swallowing food. Also, it's as though the sensation from my throat goes to my ear and as though a fluid is in my nose (even though there is nothing). Sometimes, i feel headches but no fever or vomitting. I sometimes feel a bit sick when i need to go to toilet... I have had HIV test a month ago and the test was NEGATIVE. Today, i was with the doctor and he said that he suspects PARESTHESIA... please, throw more light

Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:
1. Paraspinal muscle spasm and entrapment of nerve fibers at the spinal region.
2. Inadequate hydration status & electrolyte imbalance of the body
3. Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.
4. Peripheral neuropathy caused due to any fluctuation in blood pressure or blood sugar level.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of nervigenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & Vitamin D needs to be added in your diet.
Physiotherapy & postural exercise will also be helpful.
If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done.
Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.
X ray & MRI of Spine can also be carried out to detect any nerve entrapment.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
