What Causes Swelling Of Veins In The Right Armpit?

I am a male, 51 years old in good physical health. I have a swollen vein going from right armpit, running next to my nipple going down towards my navel. Has gotten more prominent in the last couple of days, is tender feeling especially if touched or raising right arm. BP is 138/80. Any input would be appreciated.
