Hi all. I looked in the mirror last night, and my chest, breasts and arms looked like someone had taken a thick marker and drawn on me. Thick dark blue veins covered the area from the top of my chest all the way down to my wrists. It lasted an hour or so then lightened back to almost normal. Had a total hysterectomy in 2002, so it's not pregnancy. There are extensive circulatory issues (PAD, aortal aneurysm, vericose veins, etc) in my family history, but I don't smoke, eat a healthy vegetarian diet, and exercise. I don't have health insurance, so I can't go get checked unless I believe it's something very serious. Does anyone know if this could be a warning sign of something serious? I often see the veins in my arms get really dark like this, but that was the first time it's been so prominent and widespread, or at least the first time I've seen it.
Thank you in advance for any insight you can offer.
