10 Iron Deficiency Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Restless Legs
Restless legs syndrome is a common problem in cases of iron deficiency. It is characterized as an urge to move the legs constantly while at rest, especially while sleeping. Restless legs syndrome leads to itchiness and a strange crawling sensation in the feet and legs. The real cause of this syndrome is not known.
Because this problem gets worse at night, getting enough sleep becomes quite difficult for these people, which of course makes the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia even worse. If you are already tired because of low iron levels, then you will feel even more tired the next morning because of restless legs.
