Q My palms and soles burn, and I've also lost weight and my heart races. Could this be connected to something else?
A If weight loss, heart palpitations, and heavy sweating occur along with palm-and-sole heat, other causes such as thyroid dysfunction need to be distinguished. With this combination, please get the relevant tests done before Korean medicine treatment. Once the cause is clear, Korean medicine care can be added.
Detailed Answer
If weight loss, heart palpitations, and excessive sweating appear together with palm-and-sole heat, a systemic cause such as hyperthyroidism may need to be considered before simple fluid deficiency. This combination takes higher priority for differentiation than the symptom alone.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
If you have these accompanying symptoms, please first confirm the cause with the relevant tests. Once any systemic cause has been ruled out or managed, Korean medicine care that restores the body's balance can be added.
