Do you face trouble falling asleep? Occasional discomfort while trying to go to bed is not uncommon but regular nighttime inconvenience that hinders your sleep must never be ignored. For a majority of people, the bluish-purple varicose veins are just a cosmetic issue and do not cause any other discomfort. But for most others, these damaged veins cause irritation and itching in the affected area along with a feeling of heaviness and a continuous throbbing sensation.
Varicose veins also lead to extreme swelling and unbearable cramping in the legs and feet. Patients often complain of excessive pressure in the leg veins due to large amounts of pooled blood. All these symptoms are quite likely to intensify at night. During the day, patients are usually too busy to notice or complain about these discomforting symptoms. It is only at night that most patients feel the intensity of the symptoms and complain about the rising uneasiness.
The nighttime varicose veins symptoms can interfere with the patient’s sleep and make it extremely difficult for them to either fall asleep or go into a deep sleep. Over time, the patient’s sleep quality can get deteriorated which in turn can lead to the degradation of the patient’s overall health.
