What Causes Visible Veins On Chest And Swollen Hands And Face?

Hello, I a 46 year old African American female. I am 5'2 and 246lbs. I woke in the middle of the night last night to find that my chest and breast area were covered in bright blue veins. My hands were puffy and difficult to close, my face was a little puffy and I felt like I was having difficulty breathing (I am an asthmatic also). Within an hour the veins lightened up and the other symptoms dissipated. Yet, I was very concerned. I am not working currently and do not have health insurance. I thought I would seek out assistance here first, but I am concerned that I may need to see a doctor...sooner than later. Your help is greatly appreciated!
