What Is The Cause Of Tension In Face And Legs?
I have a condition where a few times I have experienced tension in my in my face and legs. Sometimes the situation has been so bad that my legs have been so tense and I could not walk even a short distance. I am generally healthy and exercise often. My doctor thought it could be related to iodine deficiency. I have had several tests but they have been negative, so far. I appreciate your thoughts and advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. I need some more information in order to give you a better opinion.
How long do these episodes of tension last?
Do you ever lose consciousness?
Does it occur at rest or only when you walk?
Do we have reports of MRI brain and EEG? If yes, please upload them.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
