Specializes in Cardiology

Veins: Veins becoming more prominent might indicate a change in the pressure of the venous circulation. Together with breathing symptoms, it suggests a checkup is needed. For a personalized consultation consider seeing your doctor and/or getting a thorough review here on HealthTap.
