Why does my leg jolt?!


Question: Why does my leg jolt.?
Sometimes when I'm sitting in a car, chair or laying on my bed and not moving, my leg kind of "kicks" and I have no control over it. I can tell I'm going to "kick" because it feels like someone is tickling my leg. Any ideas why it's doing this.?

Other Info: I have no history of huge injuries to this leg and I am only a teenager.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It can be one of two things. It can be restless leg syndrome, which is usually just a tingling sensation.

But what you are describing sounds like a potassium deficiency. Eat foods with potassium in it and it will go away.Health Question & Answer
