The jugular vein is a part of the human body's venous system. When the neck veins are swollen, it is a sign of health problems. Therefore, when these symptoms appear, patients should immediately go to medical facilities for examination, examination and appropriate treatment for their own disease.

1. What is a vein?

Veins are blue tendons located under the human skin. Veins are blood vessels in the circulatory system that carry blood back to the heart. The venous system carries used blood back to the heart and to blood-filtering organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Normally, when bringing blood from organs and parts to the heart, the amount of oxygen in the venous blood is low, except for the umbilical vein and the pulmonary vein, which has a high amount of oxygen.
Veins are tubular, capable of collapsing when there is no capacity. Veins are composed of:
The outermost layer of veins is composed of collagen surrounded by many rings of smooth muscle. The innermost layer of the vein is a layer of endothelial cells. Most of the body's veins have valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards or stagnation in the lower extremities due to the force of gravity of the earth.

2. The phenomenon of varicose veins of the body

Varicose veins is a phenomenon in which the veins of some parts swell and have obvious blue veins. This phenomenon is common in the elderly. However, in young people, when the body appears this sign indicates that the body is experiencing unusual problems.
The phenomenon of veins of the body bulging out of the plane of the skin is considered a venous deformity related to other parts of the body. When the body shows signs of blue veins, the patient needs to see a doctor if possible, because it is a sign of vein damage. If the blue tendon is larger, it can warn that the disease is more severe, the longer the disease time.

3. What to do when the jugular vein floats?

The jugular vein is a part of the human body's venous system. The jugular vein includes:
Internal jugular vein: is the part not directly observed, located in the middle or deep of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the pulse is diffuse and difficult to recognize. External jugular vein: located adjacent to the sternoclavicular-mastoid border, is available only if the pulse is pulsating and is usually more noticeable but may be obscured by surrounding tissues. When the neck veins appear to appear, it is a warning sign that you have a health problem. There are two situations you may encounter, which are:
First: The heart function has problems, most of you can have cardiopulmonary diseases. Second: Maybe you are suffering from pericarditis or pericardial effusion. In short, floating neck veins are a sign of unhealthy health conditions, possibly heart-related diseases. If left for a long time, the disease can get worse and very difficult to control.
