Question 1

what would cause a vein to indent on my forehead?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Indent what? Did the vein indent some thing? Did something indent a vein. In any case it does not sound serious.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

No: Assuming it's just a slight indentation it probably is superficial and will resolve on its own. Unlikely that you suffered a concussion,symptoms of which include confusion, disorientation, loss of memory, headache, difficulty thinking. Although usually temporary some symptoms can persist.

See your doctor: This problem can only be solved by seeing your doctor and being evaluated face-to-face.  After a thorough examination, your doctor should be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.
