Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

It is important to note if the veins are distended or note. Distended neck veins could indicate heart failure.

I will love to know if you experience any symptoms like breathlessness, swelling of lower limbs or night or early morning coughing.

I will suggest a chest X XXXXXXX and a cardiac ultrasound, to exclude the commonest cause of these "pumping veins", which most of the time is of cardiac origin. In some people however, these veins a visibly vibrating, but really have no associated health abnormality. If you have not been used to observing, this might seem abnormal.

I suggest you get a complete clinical review, past medical and family history, a chest X XXXXXXX and a cardiac ultrasound to exclude any serious heart condition. Psychological state and anemia should be carefully considered too.

Book an appointment with a cardiologist.

Thanks and kind regards,
