What Causes Bulging Vein?

I am a 30 yr old female that weighs 91lbs with history of migraines. I just noticed last night that I have a bulging vein on the right side of my head in the temporal area. I have migraines but haven't had one since last week. Just curious to see if this is something to be alarmed about. I have a MRI Scheduled Tuesday.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation,You seem to suffer from-Giant Cell Arteritis with painful auto-immune arteritis of Right Superficial Temporal Artery/ or it could be hemi-headache with right sided Frontal Sinusitis.

Other causes need to be investigations after detailed check and reviews.Possibility of SOL(Space occupying Lesion-like Tumour in Skull)
This is because-even though, you did not have any migraine,you still have bulging veins in Temporal Veins?on right side.
Drug trial with steroid,if accompanied infection is ruled out,could confirm GCA-(Giant Cell Arteritis)
Check up with history of high tea,coffee / alcohol intake/ or history of chronic stuffy nose/or post-nasal mucus, which would point to specific causes-like-GCA/Sinusitis with DNS.
MRI- would fix the Cause of bulging Vein-?Artery?
This plan would reduce your dilemma about the right temporal bulging vein.
Hope this would help you to plan further care of this complex illness of yours.
