Hi,
If the buldging vein has been always there in the center of your forehead since you were born, then, it is congenital and nothing to be worried about.
If you have noticed it only recently, then, I strongly suggest to consult a neurologist who will evaluation the health condition of your head, including the brain and blood vessels.
All the best!
