Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless Legs Syndrome

A condition where uncomfortable sensations in the legs, mainly at night, create a strong urge to move them.

Details

Restless Legs Syndrome is a condition where unpleasant sensations in the legs (tingling, itching, a crawling feeling, etc.) along with an almost irresistible urge to move the legs occur mainly in the evening or at night.

It worsens when staying still and is relieved by movement. It can interfere with falling asleep and become a cause of chronic insomnia.

Iron deficiency, genetic factors, and dopamine dysfunction are among the related causes.

Lifestyle adjustments, along with medication when necessary, can help manage the condition. If you're struggling with this, Mindy is here to help you explore ways to find relief.
