Hi, I am 35 yr old male. I have a query regarding 'Restless legs syndrome'. Since childhood I have a tendency to keep moving my legs while sitting. When working on a computer in a sitting position on a chair, I feel comfortable only when I keep my legs horizontal on another chair. I feel very very uncomfortable keeping my legs vertical hanging down. Wearing socks makes it a bit comfortable. Even at night I wear socks to get a good night's sleep. What can be the cause for the same and how do I reduce/ prevent it? My food intake, weight, blood pressure, sleep pattern are normal. I also follow a strict fitness regime since my childhood which includes running & sports. One observation is that whenever I sweat due to exercise, I feel much better.
