What are the symptoms?

The typical symptoms of RLS include tingling, itching, aching, or jittery feelings in the lower legs. Movement, such as walking, often provides temporary relief. Most people experience these sensations primarily at night, but symptoms can also occur during the day.

How to prevent and treat RLS?

Although the exact cause of RLS is unknown, certain factors such as age, hereditary influences, varicose veins, and lifestyle choices are associated with it. Addressing these factors can improve symptoms. RLS symptoms can be partially prevented by avoiding smoking, reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, and engaging in regular physical activity. If symptoms are severe or bothersome, it is advisable to consult a doctor. There are also supplements and herbal remedies available that can help improve circulation in the legs.
