In addition ... : To the things that dr. Mountcastle mentioned, having varicose veins also increases you risk of getting phlebitis and thrombophlebitis. Thrombophlebitis is associated with a higher risk of developing a deep venous thrombosis which can increase your risk of having a blood clot in your lungs.
