Does high blood pressure cause arm veins to become distended

I have very prominent veins in my arms. Can a very high systolic pressure cause my veins to become extremely prominent? They look like blue hoses in my arms. My boyfriend thinks it's no big deal. I am afraid to take my pressure with my veins bulging out so much. My pressure was 212/166 today. Last night my hypertension specialist added Vasotec and Lexxel. Next may be IV medication.

My wife is like you. Extremely vascular. She has had to retire from bodybuilding due to hypertension. Her last pressure was 304
