hi - I have had onset of bulging superficial veins in my legs for about 2 months now, I cannot find a picture online that looks like my condition which makes me believe that this is an autonomic dysfunction. I have had POTS episodes before and swollen veins on my legs but not this bad.
There is no redness around the veins or ulceration, they are just inflamed, hard and warm and whenever I lift my legs up they go back to normal, heart checkups come back normal, I have a chronic candida condition and many other diagnosis, you can read my story in my signature, please help any had bulging veins on their legs I feel very sick with dozens of symptoms and this is my forth relapse and I'm alsmot bedridden and in pain, my immune system is seemingly not working at all, esophagus candida says it all along with many other infections detected though testing - my veins don't look like the veins in these conditions: My veins are just swollen when standing up, on both legs, all the superficial veins, the legs are hot to touch and pain and tingling which I had for years since 2004, but the burning and stinging was never this ad.
my veins don't look like the veins in these conditions:
Thrombophlebitis,
Varicose veins
Superficial Thrombophlebitis
Phlebitis
In Phlebitis and deep vein thromosis (DVT) the area around the vein is red, warm, swollen, and often painful. Because the blood in the vein tends to clot, the vein feels hard, not soft like a normal vein. The vein may even feel like a "rope" with knots along its length. When the superficial veins in the legs develop phlebitis, swelling of the ankle or foot is common.
If I have any of the above conditions it's most likely to be Superficial Thrombophlebitis from so many Intravenous injection and cannulations that I have received in October in 4 ER visits. Over 16 cannulations and probably 10 or more intravenous pain injections. I have had gallbladder crisis and possibly pancreatitis (no doctor mention pancreatitis but my pancreas was inflamed) so I took 4 ER visits for my crisis. All of my story and updates are in my signature first link...
Although uncommon, untreated superficial phlebitis can spread to deep veins. More serious complications occur with DVT, where a blood clot can break free from a deep vein and move towards the lungs. The moving blood clot, called an embolus, can block blood flow to the lungs and is known as a pulmonary embolus.
I have dizziness, headache, balance issues and what not, I have had this symptoms before as well, but they got worse.
Did anyone have swollen leg vessels, hard at touch, warm and only when standing up? They get worse with walking, standing and exertion (I believe this is all autonomic and has to do a lot with POTS)
What do you think should I go to ER see a doctor?
Thanks
