What Causes Swelling In Right Arm Which Has Multiple Hemangiomas ?
My 25 year old son experiences swelling in his right arm for 3-4 days after lifting weights. The left never swells. There is no pain. He does have multiple hemangiomas (look like stork bites) in the right arm as well. He has had this swelling for 5-6 years since he began lifting weights. He does not lift weights consistantly. Any thoughts?

Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to a blocked vein in this arm or Thoracic outlet syndrome. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with his doctor for a physical exam and performing a chest X-ray study and a Doppler ultrasound of the arm vessels.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
