Burning inside head

Ok so when I have a panic attack the first physical symptom is a burning sensation inside my head. It literally feels like my brain is on fire, this was one of the worrying symptoms for me and why I ended up going to Doctors and a&e constantly. Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal for a panic attack/spike in anxiety to cause this?
