PROTRUDING BLOOD VESSEL INSIDE UPPER LIP

[ali03]

Hi
I am unsure if this is the right Forum as there was no appropriate topic heading however here goes.
I have a vein or blood vessel inside my upper lip which pulsates against my teeth and drives me mad. It winds along from one side of my mouth to the other and feels like a piece of string under the soft tissue inside my lip.
My lip is also irritated inside where this vein rubs against my teeth.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal. I have been aware of it for about 3 months now and every second of the day I am aware of it pulsating

Thank you very much for any advise

Alison

If yours is constant....Could you have developed high blood pressure?
After I exercise, I have a vein along the inside of my upperlip that pops out and is irritating but goes away after I have relaxed awhile.

If it pulsates it is more likely an artery. I am not sure why it is so close to the surface but I think you should consult an oral surgeon to see what can be done.
