5 Health Conditions That Can Cause Visible Veins

4. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

When the heart can’t pump blood effectively, pressure builds up in the veins, leading to swelling and visible veins—especially in the neck, hands, or lower extremities.

Other signs include:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet

CHF is a chronic condition that needs ongoing medical care. If you have visible veins and symptoms of heart failure, meet your doctor promptly.

5. Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)
