Is The Swelling In Biceps And Discoloration Due To Stressing Of Muscles With Chin-ups?

Hi. My daughter uses the gym regularly and is very fit. Today she suddenly noticed her left arm was swelling - shoulder to hand. She had been rather stressing it with chin-ups etc. The swelling was severe . She took an aspirin and we fear thrombosis. The swelling has gone down a little bit but her bicep is still very swollen and she notices a bruise/discoloration and a blue line around her upper arm/shoulder
