Is it anxiety?

I have the worse burning sensation in my arms and upper body.  Last night it was so bad, I thought I was going to burn up, and could not sleep at all.  However, I do not have a fever, and my skin feels cold and sweaty.
I have had this before but it always stopped after 30 minutes.  Is it really caysed from anxiety?  The thing is, I am not anxious about anything, so how can it be cause from anxiety?  I went to my doctor once, and he said he never heard of anything like that, and sent me home.

I'm FIXED! I had burning skin for three days.. Back legs, arms, face..itchy but more burning. Anything I ate would make it worse. I thought it was a shellfish allergy..nope.

I realized I was B12 deficient from one of the posts on here. I got Sublingual B12 with folic acid. Took a shot of that under the tongue. Then bought Vitamin Shoppe's Soy Protein Shake (which also has 100% daily B complex vitamins, and many amino acids) and drank one cup with milk. Feel much better already and that was two hours ago I bought them both.

Also bought a Cal-Mag-Zinc for later to take before sleep and will be munching on spinach later and making some guacamole to restore glutathione.

I always change my diet, but I havent had much bread as I think I have an allergy to wheat. Forgot to keep taking B vitamins for missing vitamins.

Good luck! There is always a cure! Just keep researching and trying different things. Stay hopeful.

If by burning you mean deep inside ur body like it seems as it is in ur nerves or bones, then yes, anxiety can cause it and that was one of my worst symptoms.

If the burning is on skin then i wouldn't know if anxiety can cause it.
