Restlessness and tingling in the legs can be a warning sign of Restless Legs Syndrome — don’t mistake it for a minor issue.
If you often feel an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, especially at night, along with tingling, crawling, or burning sensations, it could be RLS. Many people ignore it as simple tiredness, but it is a neurological condition that can seriously affect sleep and overall health.
Common Symptoms:
- Strong urge to move the legs
- Tingling, crawling, or itching sensation
- Symptoms worsen during rest or at night
- Temporary relief after walking or moving
- Difficulty sleeping
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It:
Untreated RLS can lead to:
- Chronic sleep disturbance
- Daytime fatigue
- Irritability and mood changes
- Poor concentration
Possible Causes:
- Iron deficiency
- Nerve-related issues
- Pregnancy
- Kidney problems
- Certain medications
If these symptoms happen frequently, consult a doctor and get your iron levels checked. Early care can greatly improve sleep and quality of life.
