What Are The Symptoms Of Restless Leg Syndrome?

Hi, I just wanted to ask something. Lastnight while I was laying down my cat was scratching his neck, and it made the bed shake because I was laying very still. But then I realized my foot started to shake to the feeling of his movement, at the same paste too. I was totally relaxed when this happened and I wasn t doing this on purpose. I even had to move into to make it stop because it felt weird, but i seemed to do it after I finished moving. I looked up it up, and did a little research, could it have been RLS- Restless leg syndrome. I know that it isn t really something to worry about, but that has never happened to me before, I had no control over it.

Hello,

If you are diabetic or take alcohol from time to time then you should control your blood glucose level at all cost & cut on alcohol intake. Since you experienced such a symptom you should get Nerve conduction test & nerve biopsy done to detect peripheral neuropathy developing. Nerve damage will trigger RLS. RLS symptom is the desire to move the legs. Twitching, kicking movement at night. It may lead to insomnia due to discomfort & twitchines in the leg.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
