I am a 45 year old man. I have high blood pressure and I am overweight. Due to both these factors, my doctor has advised me to walk or jog daily for 15 minutes. Are there chances that I will get varicose veins if I walk or run so much?
Walking or running for 15 minutes may not trigger varicose veins. However, the fact that you are overweight and hypertensive will definitely increase your chances.
Exercises like running or walking help to tone your calf muscles. Your calf muscles act as a pump to push the blood from the veins upwards. So do continue walking, lose weight and strengthen your calf muscles.

I am a 52 year old female and a teacher by profession. I have been teaching since 30 years and I was diagnosed with Varicose Veins 5 years ago. My job requires me to stand continuously for more or less 8- 9 hours except for some breaks in between. What should I do about my varicose veins?
Standing for long hours is considered to be a major risk factor in development of varicose veins. When teaching, keep moving about in your space instead of standing in one place. This will get the blood flowing and your calf muscles will get that much needed push.
Try the "1 to 15" rule. For every continuous 15 minutes of standing, sit for a minute on a chair. Once you are home, rest your legs by keeping them in an elevated position. Get more of such useful tips by clicking on Do's & Don'ts
