What Causes Visible Blue Veins On Forearm?
Question: I am 6'1. 165 pounds. I went to the doctor about my blue veins showing through my forearm. African-American. Doctor said it was nothing to worry about. Comes from exercising.
I feel like I have been slowly losing weight and I haven't been exercising lately because I was on vacation. Maybe about 60-90 pushups a day and 20 squats.
My legs and arms have a tingling or throbbing sensation. I still feel like I am slowly losing weight. My bones hurt.
Any idea what I could do to help these symptoms?
I have been eating as I normally do.
When I went to the doctor they did say that I should check my blood pressure regularly.
