Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms are not indicative of any serious medical disorder.

This may be related to your constitution, ( maybe more visible or superficial arteries) , or metabolic disorder ( chronic anemia or thyroid gland dysfunction)

For this reason, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels and complete blood count for anemia.

If these tests result normal, there is no reason to panic about.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
