HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may be the case of intermittent claudication, try to keep the leg in elevated position at the time of bed, drink more water, such condition can be given try with vitamin E, it is better to get done the Doppler study to rule out the circulation disturbances, gender and age may be matter of concern and it is not being given here hope this information helps.
