i have also had half my thyroid taken out 3 years ago because of cyst. My thyroid levels are fine also. My liver, kidney function are okay. my gallbladder was taken out 9 years ago because of numerous gallstones. My stomach is burning at the moment as is my throat, chest shoulder leftside. That is why i think it is cancer which i am terrified to find out. I havent drastically lost weight and am still eating
i have not had an endoscopy done yet. Had one done four years ago and was clear.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Generalized feeling of a burning sensation can be due to dry skin, hyperthyroid states, liver or gall bladder dysfunction, peripheral neuropathies as in diabetes or decreased sweating as in Sjogren’s syndrome. This would need a comprehensive investigation.
Hyperthyroidism should be suspected in case of burning in eyes and hot and sweaty upper body. In females above 40 years it can be a symptom of menopause or premenopause. Peripheral neuropathies as in diabetes too should be looked into. Fibromyalgia is another possibility.
It is unlikely to be a cancer as endoscopy would have caught it. Take care!
