You may have noticed changes in your vein health and wondered, when should I see my local Maryland vascular specialists to make sure my veins are healthy?

First and foremost, no matter how minor your symptoms may be, it is always wise to seek the advice of a medical vein specialist to rule out any serious health issues.

Below are a few other signs that it may be time to pick up the phone and call The Vein Center of Maryland.

Your Primary Care Doctor has Provided a Referral to a Vein Specialist

Many vein issues are first noticed by a primary care doctor or even a podiatrist.

If your doctor has noticed signs of vein damage and has put in a referral to a vascular specialist this is a clear indication that you need to put your health first and make the appointment as soon as possible.

You Have Recently Undergone Surgery or Experienced Vein Trauma

Vein issues commonly develop after surgery or trauma to the legs. If you fall into this category and notice visible leg veins it is important to call your doctor.

You are Experiencing Symptoms of a Pulmonary Embolism

When vein issues lead to blood clots there are specific symptoms that mean you are at risk for serious conditions such as pulmonary embolism and even death.

If you are experiencing shortness of breath, pain in the chest, dizziness, or are coughing up blood seek emergency care immediately.

You Have Had a Stroke

If you are a survivor of a stroke and experiencing numbness or weakness, confusion, dizziness, or severe headaches it may be indicative of a vein issue that will need to be addressed by a professional.
