Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Doc, I have a bulging and swollen vein on my forehead (starts from eyelid and above). I had it for almost one week now, it has shrunk a bit but not to a normal condition. I felt tightness and I went to emergency dept and they brushed me off as a simple burst vein there and does not pose a danger. They also told me to wait until it heals by itself.I can t do my day job and it really bothers me. Do I need to get a second opinion and have it checked? Or this is really not a dangerous condition? Thanks.
A thorough clinical Neurological examination is advised.
As you have a bulging vein on the forehead, it might not lead to any major trouble. Many a times it is just an adaptation to vascular system. Also, if you are facing any symptoms or signs like vision issues, headaches, etc you can get it examine by a neurologist in person which can help us understand what can cause this. Also, the feeling of tightness will be just more of a psychological as you are getting worried.
In my clinical practice such bulging of vein is not at all harmful and is just a simple adaptation of the vascular system for which nothing to be worried.
