Question 1

is it dangerous to have vein collapse during blood work? what could it be from? could it be a vascular problem?

Accepted Answer

Reflex: A vein that has been punctured or even approached with a needle may have its smooth muscle contract, narrowing the lumen and sending the available blood elsewhere. Nobody knows why it happens to some veins on some people on some days, and not others. Don't worry about it -- it happens all the time.
