Have A Swollen Vein Which Runs From The Chest To The Breast. Had A Ultrasound Test. What Can This Be?

Thank you,
I have had a large buldging vein I think that really shows when I look in the mirrow. It starts in the middle of my chest and goes all the way down my left breast. It appears to be approximately 1-1/2 inches wide. It is not sore. However my left breast nipple has been inverting for about 4-6 months. My doctor ordered a ultrasound althoud said that she didn't see anything except density. I am very worried and I did not show the vein to my doctor because she only talked to me NO MORE than 5-10 minutes and the breast exam was a JOKE.

Hi, the description appears to be misleading, any how the swelling of the wein means some obstruction and it needs to be examined, and decided.
i advise you to consult a vascular surgeon, or a general surgeon for diagnosis. Thank you.
