I was diagnosed with copd in December I was put on spiriva once a day and salbutamol as required up to 8 puffs per day . This last month I have had a pain and burning in my thigh I can see a vein bulging a bit ,it is not something I have been bothered with before I was wondering if anyone else has been bothered with it ? :-)

Plaque in the blood vessels and HBP causes veins to back-up and when they can't work correctly you get varicose veins.
