Hello. Welcome to HCM.
It will be helpful if you get your calcium and vitamin D levels checked as they are common causes of calf muscle cramping especially at night. If there is deficiency you can take active vitamin D course under guidance of your physician. Yes, the dizziness spells in daytime can be due to lack of proper sleep at night. It will correct once the pain goes off.
take care.
