Vasodilation: Many healthy people have exaggerated dilatations of the superficial blood vessels of the cheeks and ears. Anxiety as well as substances like alcohol can provoke this reaction which is a form of blushing & is not serious. There are some glandular disorders or neuroendocrine tumors than can present like that, but I'm betting you have no medical issues. In those cases the reaction can be spontaneous.
