Question
Hello doctor,
I often go on a diet, fast for a long time and sometimes anorexic, I often get blue lines on my arms, chest, and legs. I don't know if it's a tendon or a vein. There are times when my legs are swollen or swollen again, like being pregnant for a while. It grew in a short time and it's been 2 years now, not shrinking. I had a cheekbone surgery because of an accident. Only after that time did I feel a change, my heart rate was also irregular. Please advise me what is the problem of blue lines on my arms, chest, legs and how to get rid of it. I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What is the blue line on the hands, chest, legs?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to your description, I imagine your body is a bit thin. If it's true that you're thin and on a diet, there's a blue line on your chest, legs, and arms that is a vein shape. When you are thin, the subcutaneous fat layer is less, the superficial veins under the skin will emerge and be visible, and when the swelling, swelling as you describe, there is a possibility of venous insufficiency? If you want more clarification, you should do a DOPPLER venous ultrasound.
If you still have questions about blue lines on your arms, chest, and legs, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
