Symptom #9: Restless Legs Syndrome
Some studies have found that iron deficiency is linked to restless legs syndrome. Therefore, restless legs syndrome may also be seen in those with iron deficiency anemia. Bear in mind that there are other conditions that may cause this disease as well. If you think you might be suffering from this condition, seek medical attention for proper diagnosis.
Restless legs syndrome is a disorder where affected individuals have a strong urge to move their legs as the unpleasant sensation improves with movement. The discomfort generally occurs when the patient is at rest. This causes them to have difficulty sleeping leading to other symptoms such as daytime sleepiness, irritability, low energy, and depression.
