Can Coumadin Cause Darkening And Bulging Of Veins?

I am on Coumadin because I got a partial dvt at the onset of Lyme disease in June. I ve noticed my veins are super dark blue and sometimes bulging with a very fast heart rate. I can see every single vein in my body. This is scaring me. Why is this happening?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hematologic side effects including occult and overt bleeding or hemorrhage at any site have been reported the most frequently. Bleeding complications may present as paralysis, paresthesia, headache, chest, abdominal, joint, muscle or other pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or swallowing, unexplained swelling, weakness, hypotension, or unexplained shock. Bleeding may result in hematomas, melena, hematuria, ecchymoses, epistaxis, and hematemesis. Spontaneous intraspinal hematomas, spinal cord hemorrhage, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, ocular hemorrhage, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, hemopericardium, compartment syndrome following blunt trauma, and other serious bleeding events have been reported. Anemia has been reported infrequently.
