Suggest Treatment For Severe Dehydration
Ive been told that my blood veines are narrow and deep as if Im dehydrated. When nurses try to draw blood or insert a stint for locals they have to stick me 4 times and then they all blow or wont work. What caused this or do i have something not dIagnosed?

Hi thank you for querry.
As you described your symptoms the deep and thready veins occur in dehydration and in old age
if such patient came to me i will first go for proper history is he is suffering from any gastroentestinal problem,sepsis,fever,appetite patteren,travel or diabetes
if its look dehydration than depends on its severity either its mild,moderate or severe
treat the cause of dehydration is important with oral or intravenous fluid therapy to prevent its compication or shock.
hope the answer will help you to asses your condition.
