How come anaemic people get such irritable legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If the anemia is caused by iron deficiency then it's possible. Iron is important for the synthesis of dopamine. When iron is deficient , Dopamine could be defecient and this could cause restless leg syndrome. Please talk to your doctor to find out if you are iron deficient. Identifying the source and the cause of blood loss and iron deficiency is important to rule out serious causes.
