9. Prominent Veins in the Shoulder and Chest

Many of our veins are located just below the surface of the skin. This means that they are often easy to notice, usually as bulges under the skin. They are often even more noticeable when we are exercising because there is more blood than usual flowing through them. Thoracic outlet syndrome will limit the amount of blood flowing through certain blood vessels.
