“Raised vein at right temple?”
Around 10:00 last night I noticed the vein in my right temple was raised and there was and still is slight pressure there. Is this something I should be concerned about?

A raised vein in the Right temple, especially when accompanied by pressure or discomfort, can have several potential explanations. At age 64, and given that it's a new and persistent symptom, it's important not to ignore it. Here are some possibilities.
Raised veins at the temple occurs with age. It may be a sign of stress. It is of no concern actually.
