General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

A burning sensation throughout the body is generally caused because of nerve problems. It may be caused due to many reasons. Diabetes causes peripheral neuropathy.

Also, many autoimmune diseases can cause autonomic neuropathy. I would advise you to get yourself checked by a neurologist as soon as possible. He/she may conduct a physical examination and also advise some blood tests and nerve conduction tests to diagnose your condition.

Meanwhile, you can take Pregablin M to relieve the burning sensation. Proper treatment can only be initiated after the diagnosis is confirmed.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nazma Amman
