My mother had varicose veins after she had my sister and me she was advised to wear stockings and loose trousers so not to impede the blood circulation, so yes Henry had poor circulation to but he wore tight garters which would have made the problem much worse, added to that the fact that he put on so much weight he did contribute to his own early demise, if he hadn’t eat so much and took of the garters and didn’t drink so much sweet wine he would have been so much healthier.
AND….his ulcerated legs probably wouldn’t heal due to diabetes.
