Tingling in the leg at night and the need to shake

First of all, thank you for sharing your discomfort. Tingling in your legs at night and the need to shake them to relax may be symptoms of a condition called restless legs syndrome (RLS). This condition is usually characterized by discomfort, tingling, and a desire to move your legs, and is more pronounced at night or during rest.

In order for me to make a better assessment, it would be helpful if you answered the following questions:

1. How long have these symptoms been going on?

2. Do you have any other complaints? For example, cramps, spasms, or pain?

3. Do these complaints change during the day?

4. Are there other family members with similar complaints?

5. Do you take any medications or supplements regularly?

6. What are your eating habits, caffeine, or alcohol consumption?

7. What is your daily physical activity level?

If you provide this information, I can make a better recommendation about your condition. However, for now, I can make the following simple suggestions in general:

• Massaging your legs before going to bed at night may provide relief.

• Taking a warm bath can relax the muscles.

• Reducing caffeine and alcohol consumption may help.

• Regular exercise but avoiding overexertion may be helpful.

It is still important to see your doctor for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

The branch you should visit according to your complaints: Neurology.
