Thanks,

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear Betty,

The tingling & jumpy sensations in your leg can be due to:
1. Poor neuromuscular co-ordination.
2. Any fluctuation in blood pressure levels
3. Altered blood sugar levels
4. Inadequate hydration & nutrition status.
5. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, Magnesium, etc.

Investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolytes, estimation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with nervigenic agents (like Vit B6, B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & mineral supplementation needs to be added in the diet.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist for a proper clinical examination.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
