This is off the NHS website
When to see a GP
If you have varicose veins and they do not cause you any discomfort, you may not need to visit a GP.
Varicose veins are rarely a serious condition and do not usually require treatment.
But speak to a GP if:
  • your varicose veins are causing you pain or discomfort
  • the skin over your veins is sore and irritated
  • the aching in your legs is causing irritation at night and disturbing your sleep
The GP can diagnose varicose veins based on these symptoms, although further tests may be carried out.

So if in doubt see your GP, you should be fine

Thank you. I had veinous ablation a few years back. The docotr told me if I did it then, I wouldn't get new vericose veins. Well, they are back. Of course, now i keep having little pains in my legs. Anxiety sucks

I know it is probably nothing. My brain is just running away with it. I woke up 2 times last night freaking out. I don't understand why it is scaring me ?

I am just so overwhelmed right now. I know that has a lot to do with it. A friend of ours passed away from covid right before Thanksgiving, then just dealing with my dad not being here for the holidays because he passed away in February. Add in typical work drama. I know why my anxiety is out of control, but unfortunately brain just doesn't want to let me accept it.
