Causes of Broken Capillaries on Chest. Constriction of Capillaries. Capillaries are very minute blood vessels which connect arteries to veins. When these narrow or widen quickly, it causes the walls to tear and then blood seeps out. It is manifested in the form of purple or red lines.
The injury is irreversible. The vessels don't return to previous size and they don't fix themselves. Several things can cause -- or make you more prone to develop -- broken capillaries: 1  Injury: Any type of skin trauma can lead capillaries to break. 2  Heredity: You can't avoid this one. 3  Age: It's easier to see what's below the surface with age. 4  Alcoholism: High blood pressure is a byproduct of alcoholism.
