What Can Cause Hot Sensation From The Feet To The Chest While Suffering From Alzheimer S Disease?

My grandmother is in her late 60s and has been diagnosed with alzheimers in the past year. She s been experiencing these spells lately she explains as a heat sentation that goes from her feet to her chest. She says her actual skin Gets hot also she puts a cold cloth on her legs it s so bad. She feels weak and tired after and confused. It was happening alot, then stopped for a couple weeks then suddenly they are back and she s had afew in the past two days. They come in numbers. She goes to a small town hospital and I don t think they are doing much to look into this. They keep telling her she is fine because they did a heart monitor for 24 hours and it came back fine. I m just looking for an actual professional opinion because I can t seem to find anything this even relates to.. we re all at a loss.. and worried. Please help

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,

Burning sensation from foot to the chest may be due to deficiency of the vitamin, or sometimes it may be associated with diabetics. So I would like to go for sugar test and nutritional supplement.

Sometimes in Alzheimer's disease, it may be psychological also.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Adish V. Doshi, Psychiatrist
