Is it connected to Heart filure or high blood pressure?

Post by shortcut »

I have recently had problems with my legs when I try to sleep, from the knee down they feelswollen, achey and they jump a lot, They almost seem to move involuntarily even. I shift and shift at night. I suffer from high blood pressure, and my feet swell a lot lately, is this problem possibly related to the blood pressure or heart failure? :?:

Shortcut,

Speaking for myself, I've been diagnosed with RLS, but not with hypertension or congestive heart failure. At least not yet, anyway. Since many people acquire this syndrome at young ages, I'd have to say the answer to your question is 'No'.
