Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I do not find it to be concerning. Unless there are other symptoms you need not seek diagnosis at all. You therefore can definitely wait for at least a day or two provided there are no other problems that bother you.

Let me know if I could help further.

My concern was based upon the symptom's similarities to aneurysm. It is reassuring to hear there is no immediate concern.

Brief Answer:
Does not seem concerning

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. An aneurysm is not the first thing to be concerned about. It is only if the sensation of pulsation is persistent that you might need to get an ultrasonography (with doppler) done.
