The vein in my left temple area is much much more prominent than the one in my other temple and about 2-3 times thicker.
It wasn't like this before I am sure.
I also have an almost constant head pressure and throbbing in that area that runs behind my ear and my face feels like there is pressure on the upper part of my cheekbone running down to my upper jaw too.
I am just terrified it is an aneurysm waiting to burst or something or a tumour putting pressure on my skull and would appreciate any advice on this as I am going out of my mind.
I also get neck pains and jaw pains but am not sure if this is related to poor posture but am sure the head thing can't be posture related because why on earth would that make my vein pop out?

This is my health anxiety worry..

I have very prominent veins..I'm obsessed over veins in my arms..can see two on my head.. I can feel this vein pulsing at the side of my head..sticks out a bit can cause headaches or make me dizzy i worry it's serious...

It's worse when I give it thought..anybody else here have OCD's over veins..:huh:
