Understanding when to seek help is useful with this condition, since it affects nighttime rest. Restless legs syndrome is a neurological disorder that produces an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, especially at rest and during the night.
How it presents: Uncomfortable sensations in the legs, described as tingling or restlessness, that improve with movement and worsen when sitting or lying down, which interferes with falling asleep.
Associated factors: It may be related to a family predisposition, deficiencies of certain components of the blood, or other health conditions.
Where to go: The general practitioner can carry out an initial evaluation and, if necessary, refer you to neurology. If discomfort in the legs consistently disrupts your rest, discussing it in a consultation helps identify the cause and improve the quality of your sleep.
