What Causes Restless Feeling In Legs And Arms?

I am 31, 5 5 , 150lb...had a csection 8 weeks ago. I have been having what I can best describe as a jittery feeling. I had it a lot when I was pregnant. It is kind of an all over feeling. For the last few years I have had a restless jittery feeling in my legs at night from time to time...now I am feeling it in my forearms...from carrying my daughter? It just seems like my muscles get jittery and sore easily. I used to get weird pains in random spots on my body...this has happened for years. I felt better while pregnant, I thought maybe because I was drinking a lot of water...which I normally do not do. I also have some joint pain in my hands and my eyesight is getting worse close up, I have reading glasses that I have been wearing...I have been diagnosed with IBS a few years ago....

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder. For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests:
- Complete blood count for anemia
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- Thyroid hormone levels
- Vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
