Vein Symptom Checker

Check Your Vein Health in Minutes

Take our quick 12-question Vein Symptom Checker to learn whether your symptoms may be related to venous disease (CVI – Chronic Venous Insufficiency). Many people experience leg pain, swelling, or visible veins without realizing they could be signs of an underlying issue with circulation. This short, confidential quiz will help you better understand your vein health and whether it may be time to schedule a consultation with a vein specialist.

How It Works:

Answer a few simple questions about your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. Once complete, you’ll receive a summary of your results indicating whether you may be at low, moderate, or high risk for vein disease.

Common Symptoms Covered:

  • Leg heaviness, fatigue, or cramping
  • Swelling in the ankles or calves
  • Restless legs, itching, or burning sensations
  • Visible varicose or spider veins
  • Skin discoloration or ulcers around the ankles

Next Steps:
