A common symptom of heart disease is shortness of breath, which is caused by the blood being deprived of the proper amount of oxygen. Another common symptom is chest pain or pain down either arm. Other symptoms are palpitations, fainting, emotional instability, cold hands and feet, frequent perspiration, and fatigue.
The pain and burning sensation in the knees is often caused due to the damage to the structures in and around the knee joint. Wear and tear of knee joint cartilage is the most common reason. The other cause can be ligament tear, bursitis. Often, the characteristic burning sensation in the knee joint is due to Iliotibial band friction. It is a common cause for knee pain in athletes. Iliotibial band originates from the hip joint and runs all the way to the knee joint.
A number of different infections of the feet may also cause a burning sensation. Bacterial infections of the skin, like impetigo, or deeper in the subcutaneous tissue (cellulitis) may present with burning pain among other reasons. Another infectious cause of burning feet is athleteâs foot (tinea pedis). This is a superficial fungal infection of the skin on the feet and is very common. Symptoms like burning feet may also be seen with systemic infections such as HIV infection, even when there is no localized infection of the feet.
