Hello and thank you for your question!
The symptomes you prescirbe above, might be a sign blood vessels problems
You need to get serious helth care, because it might be caused by a blood clotting problem. I recommend you to take an appointment with your Vascular Surgeon ang get checkd. Probably you need to take an Doppler ultra sound to rule out any presence of blood clotting. Or any abnormality (DEFORMATIONS) of your arm veins. He probably will suggest you to start taking blood thinners durgs (if you have not any Contraindications using them, like sensibility or, stomach problems, or blood coagulation problem).
Best regards!
