Fed up!, New vasular symptoms(?)
Hi everyone,
For the few weeks i have noticed that the veins in my forearm (the inside, whiter bit) have become much more noticeable - not poking out, just brighter in colour i suppose - and i can also see the vein which runs from my chin down to my clavicle. This has been happening when i have been using my arms. It is also only on the right which is the side im symptomatic.
Now the last couple of days i have noticed that the veins on the front of my hand are becoming swollen (distended?, think that means swollen?). They kind of look like worms and feel a bit squishy when i touch them, again this seems to be happening when im using my arms and generally goes away when im not - they can be up and down very quickly though.
Im worried about this latest change - could it be a sign of a blood clot?
The last couple of months i have been working with 7 year olds and everything is minature in size!, so im having to lean over a bit to help them with their work.....not sure if this has been the cause of these new symptoms - before the vein thing started, i was starting to get a bit of pain in my right arm pit too.
Any insights you can offer would be great!
