What Causes Bulging Of The Veins After Exercising?
I have noticed since I have been road cycling in the last 3 years my vein on the side of the head looks like a French Alp mountain of hairpins! bulging, especially after exercise. Is this sometime to be worried about. I push myself very hard cycling now, 3 hours. My heart rate averages about 155 can get to 190 on big hills. I'm 41 years old.
