This needs to be evaluated by a doctor in person. Often it is related to low levels of fluids in the body, or neurological issues with the circulation control of the legs.

Try drinking more water. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Regular exercise will help by improving muscle tone and facilitating venous return. If that does not help, see a doctor. Wish you good health.
