What Are Sleeping Disorder, Restless Legs, Itchy Body And Diarrhea Suggestive Of?

My symptoms include: Trouble sleeping- restless leg syndrome Excessive itching- day and night, yet at night it is preventing me from sleeping. Itching is generalised... Everywhere, even face. Having diarrhoea frequently to the point that is is literally liquid. Very fatigued a lot Recently (month ago) was experiencing excessive sweating and also high blood pressure. Don t know if it s related- but I have painful and itchy sores on my pelvic region. I am going to a GP as soon as possible but wanted to get some insight

Hello,

Painful itchy sores in the pelvic area are indicative of fungal infection (Tinea cruri). If you are sexually active & had multiple partners then you should get tested for STD to rule out STI (herpes). Take a course of antifungal medication orally & apply clotrimazole / miconazole cream after a warm bath. Hydrocortisone cream also works well. Wash the groin with anti-fungal shampoo like selenium sulfide/ ketoconazole.

If herpes is detected you may need antivirals to reduce the severity of the symptoms. For sleep disorders you are suggested to get electroencephalogram, polysomnography & genetic blood testing done to detect the type of pathology that is causing your sleep problems.Maintain your weight, cut on salt intake if you are hypertensive. Take your prescribed medications. You will be treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
