A member asked:
Keep getting dull aches and tightening pains up my left arm and have now noticed a large vein from my chest to the arm is visible, any ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arm pain: I suggest you mention it to your doctor and take this seriously, especially if you have risk factors for heart disease, such as a family history, high cholestreol, etc. The vein is superficial and is normal.
