Pulsating Vein / Nerve On Left Side Of Skull With A Feeling Of Rushing Of Blood

Hi, I have pulsating vein/ nerve on left side of my skull with a feeling of rushing of blood. I have no pain but this happens when I get angry or stressed out..This has started since 2 months or so and my Job is very stressful as well, which makes me angry or stressed easily many times.

Allow me to clarify for you one detail and that is nerves do not and cannot "pulsate" and for that matter veins can't either. Arteries can pulsate to the beat of the heart but not veins. Your symptoms seem to be precipitated by feelings of anger and stress. I do not detect anything in your symptomatology that would suggest a primary NEUROLOGICAL problem here and it sounds to me that the most likely explanation to what is going on revolves around issues of stress management. Please speak to your primary doctor who can direct you to the appropriate specialists or services for help.
