Do you suffer from restless leg syndrome? I could be your heart. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Nothing is worse than laying down to sleep and getting restless legs. In the United States, as much as fifteen percent of the population could be suffering with restless leg syndrome, also known as RLS. New research out of Pennsylvania State University shows that there is a link between RLS and death from cardiovascular disease. They reviewed women over a ten year period and found that those who suffered from restless leg syndrome had a 43 percent greater risk of dying from a heart condition. When we have symptoms, regardless of how unrelated they may seem to be, it’s always good to have a complete and thorough work up. Don’t put it off, schedule it today.
