I went to the doctor and told him this when i had it and got told it was probably due to my blood pressure dropping
I do chew rather hard when I eat by habit, I have a pretty strong jaw, temple muscle I can feel flex as I bite. In some instances it could be my blood pressure but last time I checked while my vien was strongly pulsing after eating, it was 130/80, not high enough to really cause symptoms like that I wouldn't think anyhow.
My strong pulse isn't a headache, it's not associated with any pain it's just really frustrating/annoying to deal with, it keeps my attention cause it's so strong. I don't know what could be the cause, I just started feeling noticing it 6 months ago when i started Blood pressure meds??
Could it be a sideaffect of losartan/hctz combination drug 100mg\25mg??
do you grind or clench or teeth during exercise?
have you visited your dentist recently to check the balance or your bite?
one of the major muscles of biting is the temporalis muscle. Many times a chronic jaw clencher or bruxer can have symptom of headache in addition to sore jaws.
Hi!
The pulsing vein at the temple could be due to high BP, stress and anxiety, clot in veins, deep vein thrombosis and TMJ. Since the symptoms worsen after eating and exercise (where probably you are clenching your jaw) possibility of TMJ should be looked into. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
