As per your history, there are several causes for swollen veins under tongue.

For further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with ENT surgeon for detailed clinical examination. He may procure complete hemogram, vitamin B12 as per evaluation to rule out any other possibilities infection, vitamin deficiency.
