Causes
See the potential causal relationship between acidosis and RLS pathophysiology. Dehydration may also be a cause of an urge to move one's legs, as some sufferers often find that drinking a glass of water may stop the urges for a short while. Certain medications may worsen RLS in those who already have it, or cause it secondarily. These include: anti-nausea drugs, certain antihistamines (often in over-the-counter cold medications), drugs used to treat depression (both older tricyclics and newer SSRIs), antipsychotic drugs, and certain medications used to control seizures.
Hypoglycemia has also been found to worsen RLS symptoms.[2] Opioid detoxification has also recently been associated with provocation of RLS-like symptoms during withdrawal. For those affected, a reduction or elimination in the consumption of simple and refined carbohydrates or starches (for example, sugar, white flour, white rice and white potatoes) or some hard fats, such as those found in beef or biscuits, is recommended.
Both primary and secondary RLS can be worsened by surgery of any kind, however back surgery or injury can be associated with causing RLS.[3] RLS can worsen in pregnancy. [4]
