Warmth poised to bust loose in midwestern, eastern US by next week Weather News - April 06, 2017, 10:14:22 AM EDT People who have had enough of the wintry episodes since March will finally get a break as warmth is poised to bust loose in the midwestern and eastern United States.
For most people, it is a cosmetic issue, but for some people varicose veins may cause pain. In some cases serious complications, such as phlebitis (inflammation of the veins), skin ulcers, and blood clots, can happen. Veins move blood from your body to your heart. When the one-way valves in your veins get weak, they may allow blood to flow backward and pool in your veins. That causes your veins to get bigger. Varicose veins usually show up in the legs and feet, because standing and walking increases the pressure on these veins.
Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. They are most common in the legs and ankles. They usually aren't serious, but they can sometimes lead to other problems. Varicose veins are caused by weakened valves and veins in your legs. Normally, one-way valves in your veins keep blood flowing from your legs up toward your heart. When these valves do not work as they should, blood collects in your legs, and pressure builds up. The veins become weak, large, and twisted.
