I am a 19 year old female and I am terrified. I am not overweight, I am at a good weight, I eat sensibly most of the time. I have been under a lot of stress both self induced by anxiety and personal issues.
I got out of the bath about an hour ago and noticed I had a strange itchy/tingly sensation in/on my right arm, as if I was about to come out in a rash or something.
A minute or so after that I got a weird feeling like a vein was out of place on my right hand, and being me I started running around panicking (literally) it really felt like it had popped out of place
NOW there's a little bruise not a lot bigger than a pea on the affected right hand. It might have lightened, but I cannot be sure.
What is this, a burst vein of something? Why am I getting burst veins at 19? Could it be due to my excessive worry and panic? I spent today in A and E because a friend was pretty ill and so have had a pretty anxious day.
My hand doesn't look swollen but it certainly feels weird, and there is deffo a small bruise there.
Please, please help me. I cannot take this fear and it's always always at night these things happen!
*if it's any help, my leg leg often goes numb because I am sat at the computer quite a bit and I have a habit of putting my leg right jammed up (and pretty uncomfrotably) again the edge of the desk, perhaps to the point of blood constriction. I also have the habit of resting the base of my right arm on the edge of the desk whilst typing, could this also cause restriction > blood vessel burst?
I was in the hospital a year or so back for an asthma attack and had an ECG done (heart was going really really fast because I hate being in hospitals) if this helps at all, I think it was normal.
Thank you.
EDIT: Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I don't really know what it is I have, so I wasn't sure where to put it.
