Suggest Remedy For Swollen Lump In Wrist

Hi I have had a swollen lump in my left wrist vein for about 4-5 days. Sometimes it throbs with a bit of pain. I have been working at computer long hours today, with breaks, and when I quit to night I got up and was feeling dizzy, the throbbing started in my wrist again, I drank a couple glasses of water. I am not having any sharp pains, but am feeling dizzy, anxious, and shaky. I almost felt like I was going to pass out. I am not getting worse, but still a bit shaky. I was feeling kind of weak, but I may be stabilizing now. I had not injured my wrist, and it is new that I can see a slight bluish coloring swelled spot on my vein, below the left thumb. I don t know whether me thinking it could be like an aneurism is getting me anxious or maybe I got dehydrated today...I don t know. I normally have a bit lower blood pressure. My breathing is good.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
You have two different problems as per the history you have submitted.
1. A swelling below the left thumb and
2. General weakness and related problems.
To say about the first, that the bluish lump on the vein below the left thumb can be due to rupture of the vein at this spot due to excessive rubbing that comes on working on the computer so much.
Consult a Surgeon and get a confirmed diagnosis just in case we should not miss anything big and get delayed diagnosis and treatment if at all it needs.
About the general weakness, dizziness, feeling of almost passing out must be the continuous working or a flu or some some general medical problems.
I would advise you to consult your Family Physician to get vitals and physical examination and few blood tests done if required just to see that you are not suffering from something serious problem.
I find this answer helpful
