Do not take for granted if it has legs that can not keep quiet, always wanted to move back and forth or kicking while sleeping. Research shows patients with restless legs syndrome 2 times more vulnerable to heart attack.
"This disorder does not cause heart attacks, but could be indicative of risk factors to watch," said Dr. Arshad Jahangir, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic Arizona, as reported from Dailymail, Wednesday (04/06/2011).
Restless leg syndrome or restless leg syndrome is a neurological (nerve) which causes the legs just did not want to silence even while sleeping. This disorder is one of the factors triggering the stress because it reduces the quality of sleep.
But not to do with heart health because it can cause stress syndrome. Moreover, patients with restless legs syndrome tend to have thickening of the tissue that lines the heart wall so as not fluent in pumping blood.
A study at the University of California San Francisco show, thickening of the heart wall tissue at 45 percent experienced by patients with restless legs syndrome that move the legs more than 35 times during the night. The fewer moves, the smaller the risk of thickening.
In a continuous observation for 3 years, patients with restless legs syndrome who experienced thickening in the heart tissue 2 times more at risk of heart attacks and even death. While the legs do not move much while sleeping, his heart is relatively safe.
The study, by Dr. Ralph Brindis of 584 patients with restless leg syndrome, and presented at the conference of the American College of Cardiology in New Orleans recently. One of the institutions that finance them are the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
According to the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group, there are four criteria that must be met before you are diagnosed with RLS, including:
* A strong desire to move the legs that can not be denied. Often the desire is accompanied by uncomfortable sensations, crawling, itching, interested, sore. * These complaints started or become worse when resting. * Complaints are to be improved when you move the legs, either whole or just part of it. Improvements will be settled during the motor movement. * Complaints worse at night, especially when you're lying.
You do not panic, if you happen to RLS are still in the normal state, and criteria above may not enter into your RLS symptoms. There are several things that can relieve RLS sufferers, namely:
* Reduce caffeine * Reduce alcohol consumption * Eliminate tobacco * Reduce stress. Relaxation with meditation or yoga. Because stress can aggravate RLS
* Manage medications and supplements: Some drugs may worsen symptoms
Restless Legs Syndrome. If you suffer from Restless Legs Syndrome which is constituted with iron deficiency, then you should get a recommended supplement to eliminate or improve your symptoms from your doctor. Use a vitamin or mineral supplements on the advice of your doctor.
RLS was not associated with serious illness, but often with some circumstances damage to the nerves in the hands and feet are often caused by diabetes and alcoholism as well as iron deficiency.
