What Causes Burning Sensation On Skin, Neck, Chest, And Arms?

I get lightheaded a lot, kind of in waves, which leaves me dazed and confused. Tired a lot, and constantly hungry. My feet have been hurting especially after I have been lying down or sitting. Have a burning sensation on my skin, neck, chest and arms.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have burning sensation on skin, neck, chest, and arms . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis , cervical radiculopathy , migraine , scitica or muscle spasm .

The symptoms can also occur due to hyperthyroidism , so consult endocrinologist .I would suggest you to apply cold compresses take proper rest , and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . The symptoms can also occur due to allergic reaction .

Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination of the spine . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
