What Causes Feeling Of Warm Sensation In Legs When I Am Relaxed?
Question: I'm really concerned.
I have noticed in the last week or so that my legs have been really hot when I am relaxed. They feel tingly and uncomfortable and feel hot to touch. They are not swollen or painful. I am not aware of it when I am walking, but become very aware of it when sitting for a while or when going to sleep. I'm really starting to get concerned that I could have some serious condition! I read about things like MS, but I dont have blurred vision or feel unbalanced or anything like that. I feel a constant need to move them, or put ice on them or something. I have not had any injury lately. I dont have any significant past medical history. Am I being really paranoid??

Get thyroid function test done
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and. understood your concerns
with your description of symptoms. it is common while in sitting position blood pools down in legs and little uncomfortableness is common. need not to worry.
For my patients with similar complaints, first would like to do complete examination and few tests based on examination findings.
Better to get thyroid function test.
Even dry skin can result in tightness. Use moisturing cream and keep moving your feet while resting, which helps to pump blood from leg.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Wish you a good health.
