I am a 19 year old male. I used to lift weights quite a bit and used to lift heavy weights until I could not lift anymore. I am a pretty thin guy with low body fat. I have had visible veins my whole life. Now however, whenever I am hot, or after a big meal, the veins in my arms when low drop down to my hands, which feel heavy, not painful, but awkward. They are definitely bigger and more visible than ever. What should I do? Is there a reason to be concerned? Will this go away? I haven't lifted weights in a while now because I fear that is what is causing/ could make it worse.

These are probably due to thinness, and possibly light skin. Weight lifter also get visible veins in the arms, like ropes.
These are generally considered attractive and masculine.
But if you are concerned about a sensation in your veins after you work out, it might be time for a visit to an M.D., just to be sure you are in good health. Then you can continue with your workouts.
