Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Flu symptoms are different. Pain in shoulder area could be due to flu or anxiety. Why are you anxious? About health? Being anxious about health is more dangerous because it could lead to somatoform disorders of hypochondriasis. The purple veins are part of our body, they become prominent and visible due to so many external and internal conditions. If you want clarifications, visit a physician and clear your doubts. Please do not worry after that.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
