Question 1

what does it mean when the veins in my feet are popping out?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reasons: Veins return blood back to the heart and  can carry a large volume of blood.  Depending on many factors including levels of hydration,  genetics, outside temperature and even physical activity, the size of the veins will vary.  Another important function of the veins is to help control body temperature and this too will affect vein size.  Also with aging, veins enlarge as tissue volume decreases.

Question 2

all of a sudden my veins in my feet are popping out i can almost grab ahold of them! why? it's the main veins not the little ones on top

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Gravity, position, standing on your legs can cause a lot of the vein swelling.  If you become painful orbecome excessively swollen you may want to get examined for possible varicose veins or blood clots.

Question 5

Question 6

what is the cause of veins popping out on my feet? it's also started popping out around my breast. what could it be from?

Accepted Answer

In the feet : When you stand the veins get engorged in blood and this is why they seem or appear prominent. There is not a lot of thick skin on the top of he foot say as on the bottom. So the veins become more visible.

Question 7

all of my veins in my feet and hands are suddenly popping out and pulsing i can feel it and see it. i am 53 yo female and got a perfect health report.

Accepted Answer

May be serious: I see this question submitted twice. I'm guessing you are very concerned. If you are having any shortness of breath or chest pressure, or jaw ache, I would take an aspirin and call an ambulance now. Feeling a bounding pulse can mean heart palpitations. If you are completely comfortable then it may not be important. Women' heart attack symptoms are sometimes unrecognized. Be cautious. Good luck!

Question 8

my veins are popping out of my foot by my ankle, and my foot becomes numb occasionally. what is going on? my lower leg tingles too.

Accepted Answer

Venous issues: Likely venous insufficiency. Please consult with us to see a photo and to assess for possible VI, a lack of oxygen, or nerve based issue.

Question 9

hi doctor,
i have feet pain
i can't walk for two weeks now
when im stepping on the floor it feels like im stepping on needles
my veins are popping out as well
i'm currently on congestive heart failure medication?

Accepted Answer

Feet discomfort: This symptom suggests a peripheral neuropathy. Causes include vitamin B12 deficiency, diabetes,toxic reactions to certain medications or other metabolic problems. An neurologist is best to evaluate and advise you. Appropriate testing will be done.

Question 10

my foot keeps locking and popping really loud, is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Locking no: Foot should not "lock up" although I may not understand what that means to you. It is common to hear popping sounds. that is usually from a tendon snapping over a bony prominence. If one of the joints stops moving then it needs to be examined and x-ray by a podiatrist or orthopod
