What Causes Occasional Pulsating Heat Sensation On Sole Of Left Foot?

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Jul 2015
Question: For the past 2 weeks I have felt occasional pulsating heat sensation on the sole of my left foot and I am constantly pouring with sweat with just the slightest bit of walking around doing very light housework. I'm 63 and have never had any heart isuues. I do take a low dose of t3/t4 thyroid pills. Over the past 3 months I've sucessfully lost 18 lbs by following the Whole 30 eating plan (eliminated all sugar, dairy, alcohol, grains and lentils). I am 5'3'' and weigh 177 now. I feel good but wondering about these 2 new symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pulsating heat sensation in the sole can be due to twitches in the area due to decreased fluid intake or an electrolyte imbalance. This can improve by taking electrolyte rich fluids.
The excessive sweating can be related to a hormonal imbalance or the dietary changes that you are having. Do consult an endocrinologist for proper evaluation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
