Why Having Burning Sensation All Over Body After Having Niacin Preceded With Baby Aspirin?

On the advice of my doctor for high cholesterol I just took for the first time, a 500 mg capsule of niacin preceded by a baby aspirin. Now, I feel like I am burning all over my body. So much so I don t think I will ever take another one. How can I combat this burning?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that your symptom of burning sensation all over the body may be due to the drug sensitivity that you are taking and this need to be ruled out for this stop taking the drug if the symptom improved then the possible cause would be drug that you are taking "Niacin" have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
