Blue Veins Across Chest, Across Right Breast To Right Arm, Double Vision. What Causes This ?

I noticed that I have blue veins across my chest to the right side and across my right breast to my right arm. I ve never seen them like this before. what causes this. I ve been haing double vision off and on for several weeks. It will last for 20 mins or so and go away. I also have arthritis and take several medications. I take high blood pressure medication, simponi , morphine , muscle relaxers, fluid pills, and xanax . I am having tingling in my right arm but my back is also aching on that side. Are the blue veins anything to worry about. I ve never seen them before. Thank you so much.

Dear friend, welcome to HCM!
From your history of blue veins across chest, tingling in arm and back, we must rule out thrombosis/ DVT of upper limb.The Deep vein Thrombosis (DVT) is clotting of the major draining vein. Either from the upper limb or of the SVC.
Is your face/ arm swelling up?
Are you breathless?

Is your heart declarede weak? It could be failure.
Could you upload a photo of the lesions here using the site's uploader?
You should see your doctor to get evaluated. It may be a significant finding..


Take care and please keep me informed of your progress.
Good Luck!
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily.
