Thank you for your query on HealthcareMagic. I have gone through your query. Your history suggests you may be having varicose veins in your legs. However, you need to confirm that by visiting a doctor. He might also do an ultrasound of legs to confirm the same.
As far as your lifestyle changes you must avoid long periods of standing or sitting and elevate your legs while sitting/lying down. Maintain a healthy weight and avoid wearing tight clothes, especially around the waist. You should jog/walk/swim or bike regularly.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know of any further questions.
