Bulging On The Veins In The Forearm And Hand, Feeling Pressure In The Arm. Worried
I was sorting laundry and my veins in my right fore arm and hand started to bulge and become extremely firm I could feel the pressure in my arm. As I was checking it out I decided to raise my arm straight up and they shrank to the point that they sunk in and I could feel the pressure go away this has never happened before.

Hello
Thanks for writing to us,
I am Dr Vaibbhav Gandhi , I am Orthopaedic Surgeon.
There is loss of elastisity in your venous blood vessels leading to venous congestion and pressure in your forearm
You need investigation like venous colour doppler
consult orthopaedic /vascular surgeon for proper management
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Take care.
