The jugular veins carry blood from the head to the superior vena cava, which empties into the heart. The external jugular vein is closest to the skin and can sometimes be seen as a rope-like bulge on the side of the neck. Bulging of the external jugular vein is known as jugular vein distention. Jugular vein distention can accompany serious vascular and heart conditions. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) for chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, pale skin or pallor, bluish coloration of the lips or fingernails, profuse sweating, difficulty breathing or rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, increasing fatigue or weakness, or change in level of consciousness.
