Suggest Remedies For A Swollen Vein Above The Right Wrist
Just noticed a swollen vein above my right wrist, but it also looks a little puffy on top of my wrist too. There is no pain or discoloring or markings. I have been doing a lot of yardwork lately (spider bite?) But I have been dealing with some high blood pressure too. Will it be safe to go to sleep and see how it looks in the morn? Should I ice or heat it? Should I take an aspirin to reduce swelling?

Hello,
It is normal finding and does not indicates any active disease process. You can go for a Doppler scan to look for any thrombus or inflammation which is even though unlikely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
