The odd leg cramp at night is not uncommon and probably not related to any heart issue. Some good info here. nhsinform.scot/illnesses-an...

Muscle cramps is a potential side effect of statins.

The time to worry is if the pain is continuous as it could indicate a DVT or if you get cramp walking as it could be a sign of PAD (peripheral arterial disease) that can occur pre/post CVD!

If frequent then have a chat with your GP. Hopefully just one of those things.
