Do you suffer from restless leg syndrome? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. If you suffer from restless legs, you’re not alone 7-10 percent of Americans are affected. This condition is best described as pain in the legs or the feeling of uneasiness of tingling, often in the evening or during the night. Some of the best things you can do to prevent it is to exercise daily. Also, reducing your body weight will help curb the symptoms. Also, forgo that glass of wine since alcohol can make symptoms worse. While there are medications that your doctor can prescribe, some people see relieve from taking iron supplements and soaking in a warm tub at night just before bed. Because restless leg syndrome can be a symptom of other health concerns, it’s always best to have a complete work up with your physician.
