Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Restless syndrome can happen alone or a part of Parkinson’s disease. It is more prevalent among old aged individuals.
We have to rule out orher causes like cerebral demyelination also.
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated, Detailed evaluation is required to rule out possible inteacranial causes.
Once the diagnosis of restless leg syndrome is confirmed, you might require drugs like ropinirole.
