What can cause hot sensation from the feet to the chest while suffering from Alzheimer s disease?
human
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

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
