A member asked:
Could my veins get swollen from my neck if i have high cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Swollen neck veins have no relationship to elevated cholesterol. If you are concerned about your neck veins that you should see a vein specialist. Elevated cholesterol can lead to plaque formation which occurs in arteries not veins.
