Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pop feeling in the temple area can be due to a muscle twitch or a spasm. Since there is no pain or any other persistent symptoms it is not likely to be any serious issue. You can ignore it.
The pressure and tightness in the area can be due to anxiety. A light massage and a hot shower will help in relaxing the tense muscles and you will feel better.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
