Swollen vein
2 days ago i felt a tight,pressure in my right side of head and specifically in my veins of temple. I realized that they had been swollen(very little) but down to the eye had been swollen more.Also when i touch my vein above the eye i feel pain. I had been working out more than usual these days can this affect what is happening to me right now or should i be worried?

I don't think Temp. Arteritis has ever been reported at your age, perhaps the youngest in in 40's typical in 80's. If there is no swollen area it is far more likely to be due to your anxiety and hypochondriasis. Be sure you are seeing a psychiatrist as they can help tremendously with those two problems. Ask your MD about "cognitive behavior therapy" also very helpful.
Yes just take a look at the veins in the temple and middle of the forehead of Clint Eastwood in some of the Dirty Harry movies. Very assymetrical
Thank you for your help :)
By the way it is a bit swollen as i mention above.
But my question is. Is it normal for one side of temple having a bit bigger veins than the other?

im 20, i also have an anxiety disorder called hypochondria. Can this affect it?
By the way as my parent said there is no swollen area, just a little bit in the temple, also used to have sinus problems since i was a kid. my point? only temporal arteritis can cause this or maybe there are some others factors to?

There is a serious disease called 'temporal arteritis" also "Giant cell arteritis" that involves the arteries of the temporal area but it is very rare younger than 55. Nevertheless i would suggest you see your family physician to see if the vein/artery is inflamed.
