Visible, bulging head veins getting me down

HI guys, I'm new to this forum, but I am 25 and have been shaving my head due to MPB since I was 18.
This past few months however, I have became increasingly concerned about veins on my head becoming prominent and bulging.
As soon as I bend forward slightly, I have rippling veins all over my scalp show up. When I lie my head back at night they show up too and my partner has noticed they are getting worse. But even when I am not bent over there are a few veins around my temple area which are always there.
I went swimming the other day and my neice said I was scaring her as I looked like the hulk!
THis cannot be attributed to fitness or a low body fat percentage as I am not overly fit and somewhat chubby.
Anyone else suffer from this?

Hmmm I can see why your concerned, it's not a good look. I would go to your GP if I was you and ask him for advice.

I actually already did bring it up once and he laughed it off and said I was being overly anxious and said ''of course if you bend over your veins will bulge''....go figure..

Mate, if it's worrying you or you are getting concerned then go back. Hes a professional and shouldn't be laughing it off. It's not normal if your veins are sticking out like that video even when your not upside down or lying down. Get yourself back and explain to him that you want an explanation as to why it's occurring and suggestions in what to do. Good luck.

Welcome to the bald brotherhood Obstacle. I notice bulging head veins when I am really tired or when having a migraine attack but it does not happen often. If it worries you that much, visit a physician to put your mind at ease.

I watched your video. Maybe if you were not straining so much the viens would not be so prominate. Just a guess.
