Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the visible veins could be related to straining physical activity or high blood pressure. Anyway, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG in order to examine your heart. In the meantime, it is important to closely monitor your blood pressure values.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
