  2. Varicose Veins and Travel Varicose veins are a common condition that usually affect older people and present as enlarged, gnarled veins in the legs and feet.  When people with varicose veins travel, their symptoms can worsen. However, there are a number of things that can be done to manage them better.

  3. Frequent movement If you are on a plane, opt for an aisle seat so you can get up every hour or so to walk around the cabin.  When driving, you could take frequent breaks to stretch out your legs too.  Movement keeps the blood moving around and prevents swelling in the legs/ feet.

  4. Compression socks/stockings Compression socks or stockings create pressure on the veins in the legs, thus preventing blood from pooling, and pushing it back towards the heart instead. Compression stockings help in alleviating symptoms of swelling, pain and discomfort.

  5. Hydration Staying hydrated on long flights is important to prevent formation of blood clots – these can turn out to become a serious complication in those with varicose veins.  So, when travelling, make sure you drink sufficient water and stay away from caffeinated beverages and alcohol, as they can contribute towards dehydration.
