Cause of Appearance of Blood Vessel in the Eyelid?

What causes a blood vessel from the upper eyelid to the side of the nose to become visible? Could it be from stress, crying or high body temperature? Could it be I got it after 1 or 2 days of stress? I cried about 3-4 times. Does it dissappear on its own with time? If yes, how long? Thank you.
