Hi,
Some investigation are needed, at least blood sugar (it even can be done at home) and blood pressure measurement lying down, sitting and standing too! Also check iron levels, anxiety, stress or any history of drugs, alcohol, also need to know sleep patterns. I will suggest a neurologist's opinion. Take Natalins Rx for 10 days. Apply heat to the legs. Take Tylenol symptomatically.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
