Could The Burning Sensation In Hands And Soles Be The Symptoms Of Anxiety?
Hello I suffer from terrible anxiety and I am particularly bad at the moment with the death of 2 aunts in 3 weeks. I am experiencing a troubling symptom of slightly burning feeling in my hands and soles of my feet along with lack of appetite and nerves. Could this all be related to my anxiety Many thanks

Hello,
Having burning sensation in hands and soles can very well be part of anxiety, especially since you are suffering from other symptoms of anxiety as well. Although it would have been better if you had provided more details about your anxiety. Burning sensations can also be due to other reasons, like diabetes. It will be prudent to get a psychiatric consultation for your problems. Medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can be helpful in your case.
Best wishes.
