Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a lesser-known symptom of severe anemia in women. RLS is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as tingling, crawling, or aching.
Women with severe anemia may develop RLS due to the reduced oxygen supply to the nerves in the legs. This can cause discomfort and disrupt sleep, leading to further fatigue and impacting overall quality of life.
If you experience symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome, consult a healthcare professional to determine if severe anemia could be the underlying cause. Early diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate RLS symptoms and improve sleep quality. (8)
