If you have restless legs syndrome, commonly known as the heebie-jeebies, you could have low iron reserves. It’s a complex area, with many other factors involved, but given that nearly one in four women and almost one in two teenage girls have a worryingly low iron intake, it’s the first thing to check.
People with iron deficiency anaemia are nine times more likely to experience restless legs than those without.
You could have an acceptable haemoglobin level, but low available iron stores.
