Hi,

A pulsing and throbbing artery with body aches can indicate various underlying conditions, including:
* Migraine headache: A throbbing headache that is usually located on one side of the head and can be accompanied by pulsing sensations in the temporal artery.
* Temporal arteritis: This is a condition where the temporal artery becomes inflamed, causing pulsing and throbbing sensations and pain in the head and scalp.
* High blood pressure: Elevated blood pressure can cause the arteries to pulse and throb, leading to discomfort.
* Infection: Certain infections, such as sinusitis or an ear infection, can cause pain and pulsing sensations in the head and temples.

Given your symptoms, it is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam and diagnostic tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
