The reason could be anything. Most probably varicose veins due to prolonged sitting or hanging down posture which will be reduced after lying down for a while. But U need to check with your physician to look for a routine checkup to ruleout hypertension and other rare causes
Next Steps
keep moving around every now and then. keep your feet onto a stool or something rather than hanging them. use compression stockings do physiotherapy to help your calf pumpup the blood
