What Causes Veins To Appear On Chest?
I have not been well this week, having had a slight cold , plus a strong headache that lasted 5 days. I have just noticed that i have very prominent veins on my chest (1 going round like a long necklace with 6 or 7 branching off to shoulders, under arm, breasts) is this something to worry about? I have been feeling very tired for approx 6 weeks and look aged. I am 37
