A member asked:
What does it mean when my veins are puffy and bulb idly petrifying out of my body? i am a very athletic and lean person, so does that change anything?

Ans: You sound like you exercise a lot. The veins move the blood to the heart. So when you exercise the heart needs more blood the veins accommodate for this. They have to get the supply of the bloid to the heart so the heart can keep up with your exercising
