Can anxiety cause veins in hands to appear more blue, pain, then go back to normal again in a while? i was diagnosed with anxiety a while ago and lost my mother very unexpectedly recently. since her death, i've been getting a bunch of new symptoms.

Sorry for your loss: Anxiety can cause a multitude of symptoms, but not much physical signs, however your description warrants more history and physical examination for better evaluation, kindly see your doctor who may refer you to a psychiatrist, best wishes
