Hello,
Since you hae been taking steroids for a long time so you must monitor for its side effects. The side effect which can be related to pulsating sensations in head is hypertension. So regularly keep checking your blood pressure. Since it is present in different locations at different times, so a serious cause is unlikely. Feel confident and take care. good luck.
