Pulsing veins in my right temples
Hello. I think it all started in febuary 2018. I noticed that there's a 1 line of pulsing vein in my temples. That time It was just short and not to big.No headache , fever or anything. Then the next day I notice that my right cheek got a little bigger and if I press my jaw It feels slight pain. I think after 1 month or 2 , the thing in my left cheek didn't get more bigger but the line of the pulsing vein in my temple is more longer. Last Friday I felt pain in both temples . I can bear the pain so I go to sleep hoping it will just disapear. When I woke up I feel pain at the back of my head not in the brain. It feels like electric shocks.After 3 days (tuesday) the whole day I was worried about my head because my veins in my head is painful like headache. If I press it it feel pain and the pain travel to other veins conected to that vein.Now I'm afraid to touch my head. I think i experience those because of the pulsing vein.Are those things I experience connected. It's hard , I can only see the big vein if I pull only pull my right face.I'm 15 yrs old , Male.
Hello~It sounds like you may have a temporomandibular Joint issue.
The temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-mun-DIB-u-lur) joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. You have one joint on each side of your jaw. TMJ disorders — a type of temporomandibular disorder or TMD — can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement.
The exact cause of a person's TMJ disorder is often difficult to determine. Your pain may be due to a combination of factors, such as genetics, arthritis or jaw injury. Some people who have jaw pain also tend to clench or grind their teeth, although many people habitually clench or grind their teeth and never develop TMJ disorders.
In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders is temporary and can be relieved with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments. Surgery is typically a last resort after conservative measures have failed, but some people with TMJ disorders may benefit from surgical treatments.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders may include:
•Pain or tenderness of your jaw
•Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints
•Aching pain in and around your ear
•Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
•Aching facial pain
•Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
TMJ disorders can also cause a clicking sound or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew. But if there's no pain or limitation of movement associated with your jaw clicking, you probably don't need treatment for a TMJ disorder.
When to see a doctor
Seek medical attention if you have persistent pain or tenderness in your jaw, or if you can't open or close your jaw completely. Your doctor, your dentist or a TMJ specialist can discuss possible causes and treatments of your problem.
Another issue you may have are pinched nerves in your neck and spine, seeing a chiropractor would actually help both issues. He/she will take some x-rays, read them, and then discuss the findings with you. After a few treatments, you should start to feel better. If the chiropractor doesn't think he can help, he will tell you and refer you to someone who can.
I hope you feel better soon.
