Why does my vein clump and why does it bulge out at times? (Photo)

My vein usually bulges out when I'm active or something but I got it checked out and my doctor said it was playing video games but if that was true, everyone at school that plays as much or more than me would have this, but I'm the only one. It's been like this for years and I don't know how it started. It's starting to concern me because now when I try to do push-ups and it bulges out, it freaks me out and I have to stop. I'm worried it's gonna pop internally or something.
