What Causes Pulsating Sensations In The Leg?
Question: For about a week my right leg has a slight pulsating/vibration that seems to be related to pumping blood in that area. It doesn't hurt, it is just an annoying feeling. Should I see my doctor? Thank you so much, XXXXX
Brief Answer:
If no other serious health problem, wait for a few more days until see doc.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I understand your concern.
As per your reports of your current health issues, if the pulsating/vibration you are having is not hurting and if you are not having other problems like difficulty in breathing or unbearable pain, I do not think to see a doctor this time.
Wait for a few more days. If the discomfort will not get relief, then, should see your neurologist.
Meanwhile, I advise to:
- take more rest
- take multivitamin supplementation (like of vit.B complex)
- take Zoloft as prescribed by your doctor.
Hope it was of help!
