Is it normal when I see my veins through my skin?

Usually, seeing your veins through your skin is nothing to worry about, just a case of either big veins that are lying very close to the skin or very translucent skin ( that is usually hereditary ).  But, if this is a new condition that you just noticed, did it go away after the massive study session or is it still the same ?  Sometimes, your veins will react to a largish dose of adrenaline ( fight or flight response ) by dilating ( getting wider ).  The adrenaline would be released probably because you're panicking about the final.  Relax.  Try Bach's Flower Rescue Remedy.  Try catnip tea.  Try sleep.  If the veins don't calm down soon, I would think about seeing a vascular specialist.  P.S.  They could look dark blue, blue/green/ purple or even black.  Really cool, huh  !

less body fat will make them show. also when u excersise your veins pump more blood so they get larger.

That sounds like varicose veins. I've got a website you can check out. I know that they are 1. painful! 2. able to be fixed by surgery, and some insurance companies will pay, it is medical as well as cosmetic. Good luck to you.\nhttp://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/varicose_veins.jsp

Yes that is completely normal, Just make sure you keep an eye on your mole to monitor the size, shape and colour of it though.\nIf you notice any changes in it's appearance get it checked by your doctor.

Have you worked out your hands within the last few hours?  I play keyboard/piano (plus I use a computer all day for a living) and after I have been using my hands like that for a while, the veins in my hands dilate because of the extra blood flow that is necessary to provide the oxygen to the muscles.  If there isn't any other symptom it might be that.  If there are other/unexplainable symptoms, I would talk to a doctor.

Yes, thats normal. If you starts getting a red ring around it, like a bull's eye, see a doctor.

red veins across the white of your eyes are fine, BUT, if the vein goes into the pupil of your eye you got problems.\n\nPS it should be fine if it goes right up to the pupil and not beyond it. But go get it checked out anyways.

First off ignore those claiming that the blood in your veins is blue. The blood  everywhere in your body is red, always. All the time. It is never blue. Any blue colour is an illusion it is just an illusion.. Blood fresh from the lungs in bright red, blood in the veins is dark red. But blood is never any colour but red unless you have been poisoned and are about to die.\n\nThe blood that you can see in the veins under your skin appears to be blue because the skin and the vein itself absorbs red and yellow light preferentially. That means that only the blue light returns to your eye. But it is entirely an illusion, and the blood in the veins is a dark red colour.\n\nAnyway, the reason that the blood is red is because it contains red blood cells, and red blood cells in turn are packed with a molecule called haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a red colour, and that is what makes blood red.

I've never heard of venous reaction but I know venous return.  Is this what you're asking about?  It's what I look for when I do a blood draw or start an IV.  You see blood come back (return) into the catheter or needle hub and it's how you know you have a hit.

If you have symptoms of varicose veins, they tend to be mild and may include: \nA dull ache, burning, or heaviness in the legs. These symptoms may be more noticeable late in the day or after you have been sitting or standing for a long time. \nMild swelling, usually involving the feet and ankles only. \nItching skin over the varicose vein. \nMore severe symptoms or complications include:\nA buildup of fluid and swelling in the leg. \nSignificant swelling and calf pain after sitting or standing for a long time. \nSkin color changes (stasis pigmentation) around the ankles and lower legs. \nDry, stretched, swollen, itching, or scaling skin. \nSuperficial thrombophlebitis (when a blood clot and inflammation develop in a small vein near the surface of the skin). \nOpen sores (ulcerations). \nBleeding and/or bruising after a minor injury. \nSymptoms of varicose veins may become more severe a few days before and during a woman's menstrual period, suggesting a hormonal relationship.\nHome treatment—especially exercising, wearing compression stockings, and elevating the legs—is the first and often best approach. Other treatment, such as sclerotherapy or ligation and stripping surgery, may be considered if symptoms and complications (such as pain, inflammation of the skin, and ulcers) develop or continue to get worse despite home treatment. You should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Vericose veins are a result of your symptoms.  In my opinion it would be hard to find an insurance company that would pay for their removal because it is mainly cosmetic.  You should have your syptoms checked out by a doctor.  I have read many things about having tired and heavy legs and it can in a lot of cases be something pretty serious.  Before you worry about the vein problem please get the symptoms checked out to rule out something potentially hazardous.  Once you have cleared that check up then ask your doctor if he or she has any recommendations for taking care of the veins.  They may be able to refer you to someone.

My boyfriend had this problem. He had it for years, and after he went to the doctor, he told him he had a broken vein, which the Dr. healed right there. It hasn't bothered since, so maybe your best bet is to go.

You are at the age where you notice, and sometimes magnify every part of your body...I think that you should go ask an itellegent male, or see a doctor, and make sure you're alright, for your own peace of mind...and I am pretty sure this is normal...take care.

Wearing high heels doesn't help the blood flow through your leg effectively. Most would recommend that you wear low-heeled shoes ..one inch or less. However I don't think that occasional wearing of heels would cause a problem. Other things that contribute to varicose veins are standing for a long time and crossing your legs.

it is very sore and very bruised when you first have it done but after a couple of days you are mobile again. varicous veins are extremely painful but once the bruising goes its fine although if the reason for the op is more cosmetic than pain relief then i wouldnt have it done as it is fairly painful at first. good luck!
