A member asked:
My veins show on my forehead when i laugh why is that?

Increased pressure: The short answer is that laughing is like a valsalva maneuver, where you hold your breath and push. The pressure around your heart and lungs goes up pushing blood away from that area - out into your legs, arms and head. Yor veins are the place this is most notable.
