Veins ''pop''?

My mum told me that when your vein comes to the surface of your arms ( biceps usually after doing weight workouts ) eg. Wrestlers, bodybuilders where you can see their veins pooping to the surface on their arms.

She said that there is a bigger chance that the vein will ''pop'' and could lead to internal bleeding or might even kill you in your sleep? Is this true b'cause right now i'm afraid. I can almost see my veins on my biceps but not sure if it is unhealthy?

your veins will adapt to your muscle growth and expand accordingly, this wont happen much in children, and I doubt it could happen in your sleep(you dont even squeeze your muscles in sleep)

YOur veins will not pop. go look at any muscular or fit guy, you can see there veins.

no they will not pop!

Don't worry your veins will not pop.

It is possible for veins to burst, but it typically happens only to older people with diabetes and other long term illnesses.
Even if it did happen, it probably wouldn't kill you as long as you got to a doctor as soon as possible.

Why your mother would tell you such a horrible thing is beyond me. It is causing you stress and worry, and I would call Child Protective Services on her if I could.
