I'm really concerned about this intense burning sensation my dad is experiencing throughout his entire body. It seems to get worse at night, to the point where he finds it unbearable. He's already taking medication for a prostate issue, high cholesterol, and a sleep aid, plus blood pressure medicine. We've found out his calcium, potassium, and sodium levels are really low. Could these low levels be causing the burning sensation, or is it related to his other health conditions? I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.
