Q: Bulging Arteries And Flushed Skin

Just curious if anyone has every read or experienced themselves what i'm going through. For the last two years, i've seen my health decline and then level out. I had constant malaise, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, diarrhea, severe headaches, visual disturbances and otherwise felt drunk. I had my gallbladder out in 05, and since had not improved. I just recently was told i'm hypoglycemic and am taking steps to improve that, but the weird part is this: I was put on a bile-binding resin for the post-gb-surgery diarrhea (a year too late, but whatever) and began drinking many more fluids, which I was now retaining, but I came to notice that my skin had taken on a more red flushed tint, and when a finger is pressed into it, it takes about 3 seconds to return to normal color, regardless of the pressure exerted upon it. It does not pitt, and so I don't believe it's edema. At the same time, I noticed the veins in my arms and legs and throat are bulging more than they ever did. I'm especially worried about the carotid arteries bulging. I don't notice anyone's bulging at all when they're simply standing at rest.

Anyone care to comment?
