Restless legs syndrome

[HITMAN]

It is a condition in which the sufferer has unpleasant sensation especially in his/her legs while at rest, it is described by a tingling sensation or discomfort & urge to move the legs constantly to relieve this discomfort

This condition which is very commonly misdiagnosed or missed & can be very distressing & might lead to sleep disturbance resulting in poor performance & fatigue

Have you ever experienced this condition?

Can it be due to anemic condition and lack of oxygen

Can it be due to anemic condition and lack of oxygen

Surely it can, Anaemia is of the conditions that has been associated with this syndrome

I suffered a severe attack last week & could not sleep all night, eventually managed to sleep only 1-2 hours & next day had a very tough day at job

In my case, it was aggrevated by some drugs that I took for a cold I had

Cause am having something similar in the hands, with all nocturnal symptoms that lead to think of carpal tunnel but nothing more than that, just loss of sensibility and tingling without pain
couple of days ago for other reasons made a test and found a 9.5 of hemoglobine which is not good

Indeed the symptoms are more apparent at night & can be similar to that of restless legs syndrome (this condition does not necessarily affect the legs only)

I'll concentrate on three main points here:

1- Carpal tunnel syndrome leads to tingling & numbness of the fingers that are supplied by the median nerve, which are the thumb, index & middle fingers

2- Carpal tunnel syndrome can be diagnosed using imaging studies & nerve conduction studies

3- Restless legs syndrome are always relieved by movement
