SEE PCP ASAP: Prominent veins in arms and chest are a very serious concern.Should be checked for blockage of veins draining blood from these areas of body like blood clots or some mass pressing on large veins in the chest.

Not to worry: Visible veins can be just because your skin is fair which is normal. They also can be come more visible as the skin ages or from sun damage. Rarely visible veins on the chest can be associated with some medical problems so if you are concerned see a doctor.
