Why do my legs tingle at night?

I am a 30 year old male and my legs tingle at night. What could be the cause?

Inquire with your family doctor about Restless Leg Syndrome.
The most common causes of tingling in the lower extremities are medications, compression, alcohol, vitamin deficiency, diabetes, infection, kidney disease, peripheral artery disease, repetitive strain, and anxiety. I would recommend that you see your primary care physician so they could check you for the above symptoms and may consider a consult with a neurologist in the future.
