Small veins in palms becoming visible?

The other day I noticed that the small veins (especially the ones in the palms of my hands and my arms, have become visible.. I can actually see them going from my palm all the way up into my fingers.. They are a dark blue and purpleish color. They were not visible before.. Also the big veins in my arms, hands, and feet seem to be more visible now as well. I was wondering if anyone might know what could be causing this? Could it be anything serious? The doctor told me a couple weeks ago that my Hemoglobin and Hematocrit levels were elevated, if that could have anything to do with it.. Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm only 20 though, don't varicose veins usually appear in older people?
