For people who have debilitating varicose veins, please consider the following strategies to improve your outcomes of managing your varicose veins: Maintain a healthy weight. Staying at a healthy weight or even losing some excess weight could help relieve symptoms associated with varicose veins. Being overweight increases inflammation and discomfort in the legs affected by varicose veins. Elevate your legs when resting. Whether you’re lounging in front of the television or nestling in bed at night, it is a good idea to elevate your legs above heart level to help keep the blood from pooling in the legs. Avoid long periods of standing or sitting. If you are required to sit or stand for long periods of time during the day, take 20-minute breaks to do the opposite. This will promote blood flow to various parts of your body. Use compression stockings. These leg coverings actually improve circulation and disperse blood flow throughout the entire leg. #VaricoseVeins #SurpriseArizona
