Long COVID – Restless legs

Restless legs (HP:0012452)

A feeling of uneasiness and restlessness in the legs after going to bed (sometimes causing insomnia).

Synonyms:    Willis-Ekbom disease, Restless legs syndrome, Wittmaack-Ekbom syndrome

Comment:    Restless legs syndrome is a disorder characterized by aching or burning sensations in the legs that occur prior to sleep or may awaken the affected persons. Complying with an irresistible urge to move the affected limbs brings temporary relief. Sleep may become disrupted, resulting in excessive daytime hypersomnolence.
