What Causes Burning Sensation In Body And Change In Vision?
what causes this for three days I have had a burning sensation in my body that comes and goes. for two days I have had a change in vision. I also have a kidney infection, I don t know if that has anything to do with this. I went to the emergency room twice they said I have to see a neurologist because they think I have a nerve problem in my arm. I don t know what to do because I am scared I m gonna lose my vision or die.

Hi,
The symptoms you describe are not likely to lead to losing permanently nor dying from a catastrophic neurological or other problem as described. Therefore, one thing that will help your situation at this point would be if you could help yourself become calm and composed through rate controlled breathing exercises and starting to document your symptoms in terms of when they come when they go, and what may be associated in your environment with their appearance and disappearance.
Ruling out something organic is always a good idea in cases such as these therefore, I agree that a neurologist may be one of the best specialists to initially see you.
My recommendation is that you continue treating your kidney infection as ordered though I do not believe that has anything substantial to do with your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
