Hi,
Yes, iron deficiency may cause restless leg syndrome. Other possibilities like anxiety or excessive caffeine intake or alcohol intake or renal failure or respiratory problems etc.
At green leafy vegetables and jaggery. Dates and spinach may help with this problem. If you have an iron deficiency then you may consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
