What Causes A Pulsating Arm Vein?
my 15 yr old son just got done eating about 20 min ago and then sat down to play a video game. He then noticed that his vein in his right arm at the inside of the elbow is pulsating so hard that it is uncomfortable and we can see it pulsating the vein half way down to his wrist. What could this be?

hi.
you have to tell your son to just rest his arm for a while. the strength of pulsations will eventually subside and normalize. maybe, he just stressed his arm too much from playing the video game. observation will do for now. if it's not painful or it doesn't have any associated signs and symptoms, resting the arm for a few minutes will suffice.
hope this helps.
good day!!
