Migraine: migraine can often cause vessels to appear engorged or tender. you should have it checked at least once by a neurologist and be reassured. migaines are preventable so i hope you feel better.

Positional change.: The veins in the face just as the veins in the rest of the body change in size depending on changes in position as well as changes in levels of hydration and changes in pressure in the chest and abdominal cavity. In the face, the veins decrease with standing and increase with lying down. Straining or laughing increase the the pressure in the chest which can increase the size of the facial veins.
