Does Extreme Stress Cause Swollen And Painful Veins In The Wrist?
I have had a very stressful day at work... I care from ex prisoners, junkies, very violent, drunks, and the vulnerable people all in one homeless shelter, I m the carer support worker, to day my security refused to assist me when needed I got annoyed he got extremely angry and verbally abusive... then a client collapsed between us we may have saved his life!. All with me suffering sleep problems, 12hr shift on 1.5hrs sleep and also feeling very ill, as I got home I felt a slight pain in one wrist, and noticed veins in both are slightly swollen. Is this normal and OK to leave for a day to see if it subsides? Thanks

Hello,
It is not related to stress.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and plan for an ultrasound scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
