Urges to Move Around

As the name suggests, Restless Legs Syndrome will cause the urge to move. It is recommendable to stand up and walk around often after every few hours if you have a desk job. However, RLS sufferers should move around as soon as they get the urge to do so or when the urges become too strong to ignore. You can curb the urge to move by moving your legs for a while.

According to the National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute, RLS sufferers usually find themselves jiggling their legs, walking, pacing, flexing, stretching, turning, tossing or even rubbing their legs for relief.
