Hello there. I have read through your question and can understand your concern. Nocturnal night cramps in the calf muscles can be because of a variety of reasons. You said that your L4 L5 are deteriorated. It may be causing the leg pain due to nerve compression. It can also be due to DVT as you said you have noticed your veins to be engorged and green. You said you have regurgitating heart valves. Are you currently on any medications? Your heart flutter and breathlessness on lying down indicate towards heart failure. I would advise you to undergo an echocardiography. Also, an MRI scan to rule out nerve compression. A Doppler imaging of the veins to rule out DVT. You may be required to put on antiarrhythmic to control your heart rate. Please consult your physician for the same. Hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact.
