I've had varicose veins for some time now. I've recently started going on long walks for exercise. The past few days, my veins have made my left leg feel very heavy and tingly. It's never done that before. Should I stop going on the long walks? I'd hate to give it up.

Just a little bit more info: I'm still young (30), not very physically active except for the walking, I'm 6' tall (I hide my weight well) and I've lost about 50 pounds this year. I have another 50-60 to go before I'm really skinny. *lol*
Varicose veins are hereditary. I got mine from my mom's side of the family (they're all skinny).

It's healthy. As a matter of fact, I'd suggest you upgrade to running. A good diet change with fruits and vegetables helps also.

Get Rid Varicose Veins Naturally?

probably. I think anything that keeps the blood moving is good for varicose veins.
I have them too, by the way, prematurely. Cursed with the genes of my grandmother, I noticed my first varicose veins at the tender age of 16 !!!! sucks.
hey, congrats on losing all that weight! you ROCK! I'm proud of you!

It is not the best solution.Try to run for smaller time,not up to be tired.
