Restless legs sensation in chest

4 Replies

Discomfort in my chest nearly every day now, especially when I am tired. I take pramipexol for restless legs syndrome and have been taking four tablets (prescription is for three) because this seems to help calm the feelings in my chest as well. Could my heart be causing this? Could bisoprolol be causing it? If anyone has a similar issue, would appreciate comments please

I had restless legs on Bisoprolol and started taking Magnesium Taurate, restless legs are now gone. Never had discomfort in my chest so cant comment on that. I have had bisoprolol changed to Atenolol and am great on it. See you EP or Cardiologist to change meds.

That's interesting, thank you. I've had restless legs for many years, but worse since starting bisoprolol. I'll pursue that one, also look into magnesium

Magnesium is used in the body for a multiude of things, GPs will tell you that a varied diet should provide enought magnesium but because of the pestasides and fertilisers etc. the magnesium in soil has become depleted and additives in food and all the processed foods etc all reduce this mineral. I felt like I had been give a new lease of life when I started taking it. I have AF, and osteoarthritis and had no side effects with the Mag. There are a few different types but what I can understand as Mag Taurate is easily absorbed into the body. Look up Dr Sanjay Gupta on you tube, he has a video on why magnesium is good for AF sufferers. Hope things get better for you soon.

Interestingly, when I was diagnosed with afib my magnesium levels were in low normal range, although I have a very healthy varied diet. They added magnesium and potassium to my drip, but that was last July. Think I'll ask for it to be checked at my review
