Grierson Gopalan syndrome is also known as burning feet syndrome.

Grierson Gopalan syndrome or burning feet syndrome is a set of symptoms in which the feet often become uncomfortably hot and painful.

The burning sensation may become more intense at night, with some relief occurring during the day.

Symptoms may range from mild to severe.

For burning feet caused by athlete's foot, antifungal drugs can cure the fungal infection and relieve burning feet symptoms.

Over-the-counter medicines like miconazole (Micatin) or terbinafine (Lamisil AT) should be used first.

Additionally, deficiency of vitamin B-12 in individuals who practice unbalanced and poor dietary habits may be responsible for burning feet.

Vitamin B deficiency is also seen in people who have issues with absorption of this important vitamin in the guts.

Some ways to treat burning feet include.

Soak your feet in cold water or ice baths for a few minutes.
Soak your feet in Epsom salts or an apple cider solution.
Take a turmeric supplement.
Apply a topical cream that contains lidocaine or capsaicin.
Massage your foot to help improve blood flow and circulation.

An anxiety attack involving hyperventilation and a sudden release of adrenaline in the body moves blood away from your feet and may produce uncomfortable burning and numbness, cold feet and even hyperhidrosis (sweating).
