What Causes Veins To Start To Pop Out All Of A Sudden?

I have veins that suddenly popped out after running 3 miles. They are visible all the way up the front of both calves and on my feet as well as both arms and hands. It looks like I am 90.I am healthy and eat a raw vegan diet. I have exercised all my life and in good shape at 58. I am 5' 4" and 120lbs. One concern I have is that maybe it is related to the Lyme and Ehrlichiosis I was hospitalized with last year. I also developed Bell's Palsy. I recovered within a few months and have felt fine till now. Why would my veins start to pop out all the sudden? HELP PLEASE.

Hi,
If your veins are popping out it only means that you are leading an active life.
Unless they are snake like and have a tortuous course or cause any problems like pain, bleeding or ulceration they dont need any treatment. I feel you dont need to worry about the veins. If you are very stressed about them then you can get a Color Doppler of the venous system of your lower limbs to see whether all is ok. And then you would need to see your Surgeon with the report or you could upload the report at this site if you feel you need further advice from us.
You will need to ask a Specialist query for the same. I dont think it is related to any of your earlier medical problems and is fairly normal.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
