What Causes A Bulging Vein Under The Tongue After Eating Hot Food?

after eating a hot pocket pizza meal the left side of my tongue on the tip looks similar to the old style bottle caps symmetrical divots ... also the vain under the tongue is bulging. this causes pain. I do not believe I burned any part of my mouth from the Hot Pocket meal. I have never had anything like this happen, and have eaten this as a meal several times in the past.
