If I squeeze my hand and see my vein pop out, it freaks me out. I always think it's going to burst or something. I hate to feel it. But other people's veins don't creep me out. I guess it freaks me out because my grandmother died because a vein or something in her head exploded and they couldn't control the bleeding. What do you think?

I don't know a name for this phobia, but is it interfering with your life? You should see a professional about your problem if it keeps you from doing activities. Even though you may think you are in danger, your mind may create symptoms in your head that can seem very real. Maybe a few sessions with a professional can help you calm down.
Many very normal and sane people go to professionals just to talk about their fears and feelings. It helps them reduce the stress and fear in their lives. Sometimes they just talk, and with young children they'll just play sometimes. It can be kinda fun and very relieving.

I'm sure there is.
Once I was in my boyfriends bathroom and I saw the veins in my arm. They were really really birhgt colored and I freaked because I thought something was going to happen. I didn't know what would happen, but it looked like greenish blue kool-aid was pouring down my arms! I ran to tell my boyfriend. Turned out it was just the lighting in the bathroom. I do have a history of panci and anxiety with a total fear of dying.
I bet with what happened to your Grandmother, you fear the same will happen to you. I have been there. Just get regular check-ups and see a shrink for the freak outs. Sometimes just getting things off your chest helps. I bet the bursting of the vein in your grandmothers head was related to another healh problem she was having.
Try not to squeeze your hand if it freaks you out so much.
