A member asked:

What does it mean when a blue vein is showing on your chest? it is not showing a lot i just lightly see them.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Veins : Veins on the chest are often normal. If enlarged they can mean there is a clot or stenosis in the veins. I have seen enlarged chest veins with a clot in the veins going to the neck or from thoracic outlet syndrome
