What would cause the veins in the palm of my hands and fingers to become more visible?

Hard to say...: Really need more information and good history and physical examination. It could be from better hydration or weight loss. Have your doctor examine you. You may just have superficial veins. Doesn't sound urgent unless painful, swelling or other symptoms. Good luck.
