General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
I think among your problems of varicose veins and chest pain the latter is more important.
Also, the BP of 90/60 is quite low.
I suggest you consult a Cardiologist as there might be some treatment for your heart.
As for the Varicose veins, you need to get a Color Doppler of the venous system of the involved limb done. If it shows SF or SP incompetence then you might require surgery or laser therapy to manage it. But, untreated varicose veins will not cause you much problems.
You should however get the Cardiology consultation done as I suspect you have some issue with your heart leading to tiredness, chest heaviness and low BP.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
