A member asked:
Are very visible veins on my forearms, legs, and chest a sign of a blood clot or aneurysm somewhere in my body?

Vascular surgeon: Some people have very prominent,superficial veins while others have deep ones. I doubt that you have any blood clots or arterial aneurysms. If you still have concerns, consult a vascular surgeon for evaluation and advice.

NO: If it were only one limb, not generalized prominent veins
