SEE A DOCTOR
Restless leg syndrome,
or RLS, is a condition
where the legs become
uncomfortable, and unable
to relax. They might ache,
twitch or just want to keep
moving. This can actually
help cause insomnia, and
your doctor can provide
the necessary help.
If heartburn is bothering
you at night, speak with
your primary care physician.
You may have a loose
esophageal sphincter which
can allow acid and food to
climb up your throat. If so,
you should see a doctor.
