  5. I'm curious about something I've noticed on my right wrist. When I press down on the vein, there's this lump or bubble that pops out. It doesn't hurt at all, but I'm really wondering what it could be. Could this be something to worry about? Any idea what might be going on?

Difficult to tell without palpating the lump in a physical consult, but it could be a ganglion cyst. It is harmless, unless compressing any nerves. If you have no symptoms, there should be no cause for concern.
