If you have to stand for more than four hours at work, you are more likely to get varicose veins. But if you sit all day, you could get them, too!
Blood pools in your legs when you stand all day, causing varicose veins. But sitting isn’t any better.
Over time, weakened leg veins give unsightly, painful, ropey, and even bulgy varicose veins. Early on, you may notice symptoms like leg pain, heaviness or a burning sensation, and discomfort that eases up while you sit but gets worse when you move or stand.
Your Job Increases Varicose Veins
- Hairdressers over 45, working over 10 hours a day increase their risk for varicose veins. Similar jobs with constant standing are greeters, retail, and hotel employees.
- Teachers spend hours on their feet at the front of the classroom. Then, as many hours sitting down grading papers and making lesson plans. Both make it so teachers are at higher risk for varicose veins. Female teachers are even more likely at risk when you add in pregnancies and high heels.
- Nurses increase their risk of varicose veins, especially ward nurses, by spending hours on their feet. Doctors who do long surgeries also have more risk.
- Bus, taxi, and truck drivers on long shifts are also at higher risk. Long-distance truck and bus drivers, especially so.
- Sitting for a long time increases the odds of developing varicose veins. So, office workers who sit all day long often find themselves in the same situation.
Reduce Risk of Varicose Veins at Work
Low-heeled shoes and support hose are better for your leg veins than high heels. Then, put your feet up or take a quick walk during lunch if you sit a lot at work.
If your job means you have to stand or sit for a long time, break it up some. Move around. Also, quitting smoking, losing weight, and exercising more significantly reduces your risk for varicose veins.
