Reason For Vein Bulging Under The Armpit?

I am a 40 yr old man and I have a bulging vein under my armpit for about 20 yrs now. I work out daily and am in excellent health. I was diagnosed with asymptomatic TOS. Right now I am feeling pain there that's radiating to my neck. Should I be concerned?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the varicose vein in the axilla,and now it might be becoming extended, enlarged, or might have ha a thrombus formation.
I advise you to consult a vascular surgeon or a cardiologist, for diagnosis. you may need to have a color Doppler, for confirmation.
you also may need to have E.C.G, echo cardiogram,etc.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
