Pulse In Left Temple, Mild Headache. Taking Medication For High BP. What It Could Be?
HI, every once in a while I have a pulse in my left temple. Very little pain. But since I worry a lot it stresses me out. A few nights ago I could hardly sleep worrying about it. I also had a mild headache the other day. I take high blood preasure medication . May be going to the doc tommorow since I also need my meds refilled. Do you have any idea of what this could be. Thankyou, Michael Spicuzza

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms are not suggestive of any serious neurological or brain-related illness.
The most likely cause could be a muscle tension headache or related to anxiety.
Your doctor would be able to clarify further after detailed examination.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
