What Treatment Is Suggested For Vertigo?
I am having current and ongoing vertigo (diagnosed after a significant episode around three years ago) I have had nystagmus (diagnosed) since around 4 years of age, I also have restless leg syndrome (undiagnosed but displaying as involuntary leg movements at night particularly during sleep). I wonder if these are connected?

Hello,
Vertigo is related to inner ear dysfunction, restless legs syndrome cause is not fully understood.
Imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain may be one reason for restless legs syndrome, iron deficiency also.
So, these are two different conditions.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
