Headache, Bulging Vein Between Temple And Eyebrow. Anything Serious?

Hi I'm a 22 year old male that has been having headaches on the right side of my head. Last night I had a mild one and I looked in the mirror as I was washing my hands and I noticed a vein that is located between my temple and eye brow that was bulging out. I've never seen this before and it really scared me. This headache proceeded after a really intense and stressful meeting. Could this be serious?
