Polidocanol for Varicose Veins "Procedure was simple, painless, and completed in 5 minutes. A tubular bandage is applied for additional compression under the support hose. I seem to have distinct itching all over after the procedure. It's been over 24 hours, and the itching is still uncomfortable. Decided to take some Benadryl."

For Varicose Veins "I was having the venous closure procedure done, and when the doctor injected the medicine, I immediately felt my heart rate increase, and I felt light-headed. I also had chills. My blood pressure went up to 169/98 and normally runs around 110/70. Also, a week later, I developed a blood clot in my leg."

For Varicose Veins "The technician had injected about four syringes into the spider veins on my two legs when I suddenly felt very nauseous and sick. He stopped treatment immediately and put a blood pressure cuff on me. I also drank some water. The nauseous feeling quickly left me, but then I just felt very weak and generally ill. The technician was excellent, as he stayed with me the entire time until he was sure I was feeling OK. My blood pressure had spiked to 160/122 from my intake figures of 123/82. He continued to take my blood pressure every 5 to 10 minutes until it had fallen below 150 and was continually heading downward. He also commented on my color, and when I looked 'normal' again, he felt it was OK for me to leave. At that point, I also began to feel like myself again, though I was fairly exhausted and felt tired after the experience. This exhaustion lasted for about six hours after the last injection before finally leaving me."

For Varicose Veins "I had a reaction to polidocanol during a radiofrequency ablation. I felt light-headed, like I was going to faint, and my blood pressure went up to 160/99, which usually is in the 110/70 range. I also developed severe chills. After I was discharged, my blood pressure continued to stay elevated for several hours. I developed a blood clot in my thigh 2 weeks after the procedure."
