VARICOSE VEINS SYMPTOMS

They aren't pretty, but they're usually harmless. See your doctor, however, if you notice a tender, reddened area on the surface of a vein and experience leg pain, fever, or a rapid heartbeat. These could signal a blood clot. Also check with your doctor if your legs are significantly swollen, the skin near the veins has changed colour, or there are sores on the veins that won't heal. These symptoms indicate a more serious circulation problem.
