What Causes Swollen Vein And Sharp Pain On Right Temple?

I discovered yesterday I have a swollen vein through my right temple, have sharp pain on same side and eye feels funny too. Pain is not constant though. I went to GP over a month ago after bad headache left blurred vision-no real answers just related it to newly diagnosed glue ear and reffered me to ENT appointment next month. Headaches have been persistent since last appointment and now have this swollen vein? Should I be worried??
