burning skin sensation

[wellworried84]

Hey everybody,
I've been under severe stress over the last two and a half months (shortness of breath, chills, cold all the time, hot flushes, headaches, blured vision etc.) I'm feeling quite better right now (although anxiety and excessive worry is still present non-stop)I've been experiencing burning skin sensations for a long time now. It almost feels like I have sun burns but my skin looks perfectly normal and its predominantly in my back and my stomach. Does this sound familiar to anybody? Is this anxiety or something else. I know you guys are not fortune tellers but I'm curious to see what you think. Thanks. All best.

Are you on medication? I had a burning feeling as a side affect of paxil.

that definatly sounds familiar to me. i dont suffer from that so much, but it is definatly a legitamite symptom of anxiety. check out this site:

hey, i've had continued burning skin on the back, shoulders and arms and recently the face, for about 2 months.  i've seen 2 doctors, a chiro, and acu.  it's seriously debilitating, difficult to carry out every day tasks, almost impossible to sleep, and hard to diagnose.  if anyone has anything, please let me know.  i think anxiety might be the cause, but will a psychiatrist be we willing and able to help?  thanks.
