Question 1

can injury to the neck cause vessels in the arms to narrow and get smaller? the vessels in my arms are blue, small, and paper thin and getting thinner

Accepted Answer

Superficial vessels: The small, thin blood vessels that you see through the skin in the arms are called superficial blood vessels. The main symptom to be concerned about is if you have pain or weakness or swelling in the arms and this may be caused by a neck injury.  The good news is the way the blood vessels look is not as important as how your arms feel.

Question 2

dark blue veins in back of throat near tonsils. what causes this? is it normal?

Accepted Answer

: Probably normal. Ask your General Dentist and/or your General Physician to ev valuate the next time you have an appointment.

Question 3

the veins under and on the sides of my tounge are dark purple and dark blue and hurts very bad and has been like this over 24 hours and i have a sore throat but the sore throat has subsided a bit in the past week?

Accepted Answer

Veins: Since veins carry unoxygenated blood the veins under the tongue can look quite purple. I suspect that the tongue soreness is part of the throat infection. Try bathing the tongue in warm salt water or with maalox for relief. Since your sore throat is improving it is probably a viral rather than strep infection.

Question 4

does anger cause throat vessels to pop in any way ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, rarely: If you really strain your throat in the face of very high blood pressure you can cause superficial blood vessels to.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Question 7
