Enlargement of veins related to heat05/20/2009 |
I am a thin 41 year old woman. Over the last year I`ve noticed that temperatures above 80 degrees cause the veins in my hands to become very large and somewhat uncomfortable. (its always starts with the right hand) I`ve also noticed this after taking a hot bath. I try to avoid heat as it also causes my muscles to feel achy. Is this a normal part of aging or should I have it checked out by a doctor? If so, what kind of doctor deals with this? Thanks.
Hello. Heat can cause veins to dilate. This is absolutely normal. Take care!
