Causes of chest vein bulges

Recently, many people have experienced bulging blue veins on their chests, which has made many of us worried. Many people think that this is just a precursor to some serious illness, so they are very panicked and don’t know what method to use to treat it. In fact, this is not a serious disease, but a normal physiological reaction of the body. It is generally more obvious in thinner people. What are the reasons for the bulging blue veins on the chest?

1. Symptoms of varicose veins: Stage 1: Capillary dilation, reticular vein dilation, slight blood vessels and purple veins can be seen in the legs. Strictly speaking, they only affect the appearance. There are no adverse symptoms such as pain at this time, and it will not affect the patient's life and work. Stage one varicose veins can be prevented by wearing medical compression stockings, but patients should also pay attention to it, otherwise varicose veins will develop further.

Stage 2: When standing, curved and thickened superficial veins can be seen on the legs, which are higher than the skin, with obvious lumps and prominent blue veins, like "earthworms". Pressing with the hands will leave deep pools, which will disappear after the legs are raised or lying flat. There are often feelings of discomfort such as calf soreness, fatigue, and pain.

Stage 3: Varicose blood vessels increase and edema begins to appear in the calves. It is more obvious after standing for too long or being tired. The edema may disappear when you wake up in the morning. The affected limb is often thicker than the contralateral leg. Some patients also experience skin itching. In severe cases, skin lesions such as eczema and congestive dermatitis may occur. This is the best time for treatment.

Stage 4: Excessive blood stasis in the blood vessels causes a significant increase in venous pressure, causing some blood components to penetrate into the skin and subcutaneous tissue outside the blood vessels, causing the local skin to turn red, purple, or even black, and lose elasticity and become hard. The blood flow in the tortuous varicose veins is slow, and it is difficult for the blood to empty. It can also easily cause local thrombophlebitis and lymphangitis. The venous wall adheres to the skin, and symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain appear, and recur. When the disease develops to the middle and late stages, it not only brings pain and additional high costs to patients, but also increases the difficulty of treatment.

There are many reasons for the bulging of blue veins on the chest. When this problem occurs, we should not have any psychological pressure. As long as we take timely measures, we can get rid of this situation as soon as possible. Of course, we should choose different methods that suit us according to our different symptoms and physical fitness.
