Can AAS contribute to Vericose Veins? Here is why I ask. When I was 18 y/o, I joined the US Marines. I was in the infantry and was on my feet marching or hauling gear 90% of the time. I first noticed some small vericose veins durring this time around my ankles and about half way up up shins. When I turned 21, I tried my first cycle. I am now 27, and have done 6 cycles over the years, averaging about a 12 wk cycle a year. My cycles usually consist of around 500mg test a wk, stacked with some sort of oral that is usually ran for about 6 weeks. I do proper PCT and take HCG throughout cycle to prevent ball shrinkage. I went to a doctor earlier in the week to get a script for Nexium and asked why I have slowly but progressively developed more varicose veins. He said chances are it is genetic. I have had border line high blood pressure since I was 16. I am on my feet most of the time, I have always had an active lifestyle. I eat clean, I workout my legs at least 2 days a week and run for cardio, but not as much as I would like to see. I do not feel any discomfort in my legs, it's just cosmetic. I don't have big nasty bulging veins, it's more of skin pigment changes (darkening -- looks like they're tanned darker). I don't smoke, don't drink very often and eat pretty healthy. I did a little reasearch online and found that hormone changes can cause them, IE changes in estrogen and proestrogen. I started this 3 years before I ever took any kind of AAS, so I'm just curious if anyone has any input on this. At the doctor, blood pressure was 138 over 76 and the last time I gave blood (2 months ago) by total cholestorol was significantly below normal. I had the lowest levels in our office (10 people).
