Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) has been a topic of ridicule by Rush Limbaugh, and a disorder that has been written off as "quaint" (if not crazy) by many doctors, including many cardiologists.

But RLS is a real physical (and not psychological) disorder that can have serious consequences. And now, it has been associated with increased cardiac risk.

Read here about RLS, and why you should insist that your doctor take it seriously.

Restless Legs is no joke if you’ve experienced it. I had those funny leg sensations a number of years prior to my quadruple heart bypass operation. They had occured for a number of months. After the operation,they have disappeared.
