What Is The Treatment For Swollen Veins In The Forearm And Hand?

Hi...I'm 64 years old. I just had an incident where the veins in my left hand and forearm were bulging extremely and somewhat on my right hand and forearm. This is the first time I have ever noticed this. When I raised my hands over my head it went away immediately. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
You should not be worried about vein swellings. They tend to enlarge with age and are almost always normal. So you can relax and do not bother about them.
Take care,
