Question 1

what causes broken blood vessels in your hands?

Accepted Answer

Usually trauma: The veins on top of the hands are very prone to injury from simply hitting them against an object.  This would be the most common reason for them to be bruised and subsequently bleed.  Other causes could be medications that you are taking such as aspirin, fish oil and even some vitamins.  You may want to follow up with a vein specialist for an evaluation.

Question 7

could cardiac pain ever cause the fingers on the left hand to swell up, stiffen, turn blotchy and cold? or does that indicate compressed nerves/blood vessels?

Possibly: More likely due to nerve or vascular changes in the arm, especially in one so young.  Sometimes beta-blockers can produce similar symptoms.

Question 8

i experience painful blood vessels in hands feet,legs and arms,burst veins, cramp, painful spasms in neck, tinitus and tingling in hands and mouth?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: some of your symptoms may be related to your fibromyalgia.  It does not look like you are taking any medication for this.  If you are having swelling/edema in your extremities that can also be a cause for the "burst veins".  Varicose veins can also become inflamed, causing your symptoms.  I would recommend you see your doctor to have these addressed.  There ARE treatments for fibromyalgia!

Question 9

what causes me to have blood veins burst in my hand?

Accepted Answer

Veins: Veins break secondary to dilation, pressure.  If the veins are weak either do to genetics or nutrition you can be more prone to breaking.  If you are on blood thinner, aspirin or nsaid that will cause issue.

Question 10

why do my blood vessels in my hand keep breaking?

Accepted Answer

Usually trauma.: There are many veins on the top of the hand which are relatively close to the surface of the skin and are prone to be injured.Trauma to the area (this could be a simple banging of your hand without you even being aware) could result in beaking of the vein leading to a black and blue area.  Also medications such as aspirin, blood thinners and even vitamin e. Flaxseed and  and nsaids can cause this.
