What Causes The Vein Running From My Left Arm To The Heart To Swell?

I noticed this morning that the vein running from my left wrist, going up the underside of my arm, into my chest and then up towards my neck is bulging. I am female, 74 years old and on Crestor. I take no other meds, but take a Multi-vitamin, B-12, Calcium and Ester C. There is heart disease in my family, but no indication that I have it. Is this important enough to seek medical attention?.
