    anxiety can definitely cause a head or brain burning sensation . some people get a flushed feeling in their face also. That’s because anxiety activates the stress response in the body, and we can get all kinds of sensations. any sensations related to anxiety are not harmful.

    However, if you haven’t had a complete physical exam in a while, that is something that is important to do at least once a year. you can mention this sensation to your doctor.

    besides that., Try to find ways to calm down the anxiety. practice long slow deep breathing because that counteracts the stress response. Do things that make you smile and laugh. Get some exercise. Etc.. there are some great meditations on YouTube for anxiety that really help a lot! I hope you feel better..

      Thank you for your kind response,

      I had my complete physical exam like echo, ecg, echo, blood tests, thyroid profile etc, all tests were clear but I had not done head related exam. Because that time this problem was not occur.

      But now head gets burn after every 2 or 3 days, so I am worried.

      if you are that worried about it, you can always make an appointment with a neurologist who will listen to your concern. They have a lot of experience with patients who have all kinds of sensations in the head.

      The doctor would be able to tell you if it’s anything to be concerned about.

      The doctor will do testing if he or she feels it is necessary.

      I have been through all of that, and they never found anything wrong. If they don’t find anything wrong with you, then it’s time to start working on reducing the anxiety which may be the cause of this. Take care.
