Severe restless legs

Hi everyone! My mom has been dealing with severe restless legs. It used to be only at night, but now she’s dealing with it during the day as well unfortunately. She hasn’t slept in a long time and I can’t help but worry.

She also has heartfailure and heart rhythm disorders. We noticed a pattern and were wondering if y’all experienced the same? Her RLS peaks usually around the time her heart is experiencing problems, and calms down when they treat her (cardioversion, etc.).

Honestly, we don’t know what to do. The doctor prescribed Ropinirole. It’s been like 2 hours now, and the pills still haven’t done it’s thing so it seems like it’s gonna be another sleepless night 😕

Has any of you also experienced RLS with heart issues? Thank you all in advance!
