Suggest Remedy For Swelling Of Veins In Eye

Have high blood pressure. Trying to control with medication. Tonight - for first time - a small vein about 1-1/2 inches swelled above my right eye toward hairline and very painful, especially to the touch. Blood Pressure is coming down. Is the vein a result of high blood pressure?
