Russian neurologist Marina Anikina warned that unpleasant sensations in the legs that appear at night may indicate restless legs syndrome, a disorder that causes insomnia and serious health problems.
The doctor said: "This disease often indicates iron deficiency or diabetes, and if it is not treated, the person may enter a state of tension... a condition in which the patient feels unpleasant sensations in the limbs, appearing during rest in the evening and at night, forcing him to make movements to relieve the pain. It can be distinguished by the sensations that appear when going to sleep, which are linked to neurochemical changes. The disease may be primary due to genetic causes, or symptomatic, related to iron, magnesium and B vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, alcoholism, or thyroid diseases. This syndrome also affects 20% of pregnant women and coincides with Parkinson's disease."
The doctor pointed out that ignoring the problem leads to persistent sleep disturbances and psychological stress, and chronic lack of nighttime rest leads to disruption of the natural biological rhythm and heart disease. In rare cases, this condition also affects the hands.
She added: "The danger, if left untreated, lies in chronic sleep disturbances and persistent disturbing sensory sensations, which are a source of stress. This in turn reduces quality of life and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. If this condition persists for more than four weeks, it is essential to consult a doctor and treat the nervous system."
