Should I be concerned about my vein problems?
I was told I have a nodule in my lung but that it isn't big. I recently had heart attack symptoms, my blood pressure dropped to 92/53. The ER said the EKG didn't show a heart attack or stroke but I had all the symptoms. It happens often everyday and it feels like my heart is pounding out my chest. The veins in my arms will buldge and go down, then buldge and go down again. Is this something serious?

Why does one of the veins at the back of my left hand bulge, and only in one spot? The bulge is smaller or disappears when I raise my hand. No redness or discoloration; however, after doing research online, I feel a bit of pain. It might be because I am paranoid and I had a bad experience with an IV drip when I was a baby, so it is sensitive.

When I see my vein pop on my hand (knuckle side) I can slide my finger against my vein, and my vein stays like it was still being pushed down until a certain point of sliding. Why is that?

They don't bulge but are very visible and seem to darken very fast. My hand veins are almost gross because they bulge so much. I had a baby in June and was transfused. Since then my veins have seemed huge (they were tiny in the hospital). Is it normal that my arms and hand veins become so visible so quickly? I am 28 and only slightly active...maybe 3 times a week.

I am a female in my mid-twenties. I do not work out. When I feel hot, my veins protrude and become very large. It feels uncomfortable to use my hands, and I constantly have my arms raised or hiding my hands. I also have one vein in my calf that does the same. My mother was the same, only hers were much worse. I'm worried I will be the same. I have never seen veins like this and I'm worried I will live this way forever. Why is this happening? Is this hereditary? What can I do about it?

I am 27 years old and female. When I am in yoga class and having to hold a pose for sixty seconds (when my hands are raised above my head), it seems that all the blood drains from my hands and goes to my head. I get light-headed and dizzy, and have to drop my hands before the pose is over. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

My doctor was blasé about it. My veins are bulging a shocking amount. I rarely see anyone with more prominent veins than me. I'm very embarrassed and feel ugly and uncomfortable. My feet and hands feel very heavy. They throb and are hot most of the day. My feet swell from walking. My legs go very red and blotchy. I spend a lot of time with my hands above my head to relieve the discomfort.

Hello, I'm worried about my arm veins. They are bulging and more prominent now. I'm a 35-year-old tall and slim woman. I have a one-year old boy who I often carry on my arms. I exercised regularly at home for about 4 months. Now, I don't exercise for the fear of getting my veins worse. Can you help me. Thank you in advance.

My veins have started to bulge quite a bit when my hands are down, but seem to go back to normal when my hands are above my heart.
Why are they now doing this? Will they eventually permanently bulge? Can I prevent this from happening?
