A member asked:

My veins are suddenly very visible, especially in my arms and legs. it seems to have happened overnight. is this something to be concerned about?

Venous flow?: Although you are too young to already suffer from "varices" (dilation of veins due to obstructed or slow venous blood flow), a transient cause may exist. If persists, Check with a vascular surgeon.
