How Can itchiness And Burning Sensation In The Feet Be Treated?
My feet have been itching and burning. Not all the time, but occasionally. I had blood work done and found out my B1 was a little low. Was put on a vitamin supplements. 100mg. I've been on them for only 4 days. My feet are burning more to the point of not being able to sleep. I am on blood pressure meds, and levothyroxine. Any suggestions.
You need to check your Thyroid Function tests urgently. It may be that the dose of Levothyroxine needs to be adjusted. Warm moist hands and feet are seen in excess of Thyroxine levels. If the condition doesn't improve I would prefer you take Inderal tablet[Propranolol] 10mg daily. It is prescribed for an ill defined entity called burning feet syndrome. It is basically a blood pressure medication but at this dose it is not going to have any effect on your BP. Godspeed.
