A member asked:

Can antiphospholipid syndrome cause blood vessels in the brain, legs & arms to have burning pain & feeling of pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Your symptoms are not very specific. The symptoms of apa syndrome are related to blood vessel clotting and your type of symptoms do not suggest that. Have your doctor evaluate the issue.
