Can Carpel Tunnel Cause Pronounced Veins In The Hands?

Hi, About 5 days ago I noticed that the veins on the backs of my hands are much more pronounced, it is hot where I am and thought that was possibly just due to the heat . Veins swell when hands are down but contract when raised- fairly normal for many people. Between that time and now I have developed major carpel tunnel symptoms in both hands. I am almost positive that it is indeed carpel tunnel but what concerns me is the pronounced hand veins...is this a normal symptom in conjunction with carpel tunnel.

Hi.
Congested veins at the back of hand have nothing to do with your carpal tunnel.they are normal and needs no treatment unless they cause any problem.
