A member asked:
Why do some people have a vein in middle of forehead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congenital: You were born that way, and often times there are relatives with the same type of vein prominence. The manifestation is made more prominent with straining, talking, singing, yelling---anything that will result in a valsalva maneuver, which is basically holding one's breath and straining down.
