Hi
This problem is either related to mineral imbalance,Na and K …or kidney functions test is needed
drink plenty of water… if you have varicose veins in your legs then you should see a cardiovascular specialist
Please feel free to get more inquiries.

hi
these complaints can be caused due to variety of reasons like hypoprotenemia, kidney problems, raised serum uric acid levels, cardiac issues.

keep the leg elevated. get your pulse,blood pressure checked. take anti inflammatory tablets.
get blood investigations done to see if anything is abnormal.
consult a doctor if symptoms dont improve.
thanks

THIS MAY BE DUE TO CARDIAC OR KIDNEY MALFUNCTION. NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.GET BLOOD TESTS DONE AND A ECG TO RULE OUT OTHER CAUSES.
KEEP LEGS ELEVATED. APPLY COMPRESSION BANDAGES
