What Causes Swelling In The Vein Of The Wrist Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome?

My vein in my wrist swelled and hurt incredibly badly. After 15 min it stopped and burst and bruised along the vein path. I have ehlers danlos syndrome but type 3. I m worried this may happen and cause a fatal burst. It happened once eleven years ago behind my knee in the major vein there. In my sleep.
