Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Your symptoms do not seem to indicate an serious medical disorder. Anxiety could contribute in the appearance of this vein. I would just recommend monitoring your blood pressure values. Anyway, if you start having headache, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a brain MRI and inflammation tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
