GPs or ignore

[Babieseverywhere]

My hands feel like they are burning, it doesn't hurt just a very peculiar very warm feeling. It has been coming and going for around a week.

I am wondering if it is anything to do with hypothyroidism or vitamin deficiency both of which I have/have had.

Do I have to bother the GP or will it go away on it's own ?

AIBU Wait it will go away
YANBU Go and bother the GP

Please go to the GP. Please. It’ll take a few minutes of your time for peace of mind.

And if you fall ill in the future and end up going back to the GP, these symptoms could help form a ‘puzzle’ if that makes sense

I dislike going to the doctors and feel I am just bothering them. So unless I feel there is a real need, I try to wait when I can.

Plus 2 weeks wait for an appointment.

Go to the GP.

Make an appointment and cancel it if it gets better?

Without sounding dramatic, if in a years time they said you were going to die, and then they said have “you ever had the feeling of warm ness in your hands” and if you had gone to the GP you wouldn’t now be dying?

Seriously, it doesn’t take that long

Go. My first guess would have be peripheral neuropathy..

have been

Diabetic neuropathy? I'd go and get checked x

See your gp!

It is only in my hands not my feet and I am not diabetic (I have plenty of blood tests with other stuff)

But I take the general feeling that I should check it out. I think it will be B12 or Iron again but I haven't had this hand burning hot feeling before, which is why I posted.

Raynauld's maybe? Autoimmune conditions often seem to come in pairs or groups and could be linked to your thyroid.

I’d see your GP. You can always cancel in a fortnight if you want but at least the appointment is booked for you to have the chat if it continues.

Likely b12

Darn it. I will book an appointment and see how I go.

Raynauds!

Raynauld's? They will ask for bloods and a review.

Raynauds, is the colour changing?

If you are well otherwise then perhaps see GP but I don't think there is a need to panic.

Not Raynauds, not cold, no pain, no colour change. I guess it is B12.

GP thinks thyroid levels or more likely vitamin deficiency (again), I have a blood test to figure out which in a fortnight and will get what I need then.

Interesting my feet have started to burn, so I do think this will continue until fixed. Certainly makes using my hands more interesting ! Glad it is nothing scary, extra vitamins I don't mind taking.
