[nicecream]

i can feel the vein pulsating by my right temple and i can feel it pretty easily... also i can feel a vein pulsating if i put my finger on it from my temple area to about half-way up the top of my head... does anyone else have this? is this the sign of anything bad? i am a hypochondriac... can anyone help? thanks...

Besides your wrist, the main artery at your neck near under

your ear, is were you take your pulse. This artery has veins/

vessels that extend up through your head. Sometimes we can

hear our heartbeat in/near ear. These then extend to temple area

up & around your brain area & start over again. Veins are different sz's & go different directions. It may come & go

depending on if you focus on it. If you are 60+ in age & can

see 'raised' purple/blue vein w/ discomfort, then you are just

fine. There are stabelizing meds for people that have your

hypochondiac condition (somethings wrong), but it's best to

join a group therapy. Many counties/cities offer minimal fee

session groups. Perhaps ph-bk or a care-prof. can locate. Even

hospitals can tell you by ph. if one is nearby or the number.

Worrying makes you more anxious & some have a ph-line to call.

Breathing/yoga also is helpful when you start believing in

the 'awful' must be happening. Next visit, just mention pulsing to your Dr. to ease things. Gd-luck.

I too have this pulsating feeling on my right side of my temple. Is this something I need to be concern of. It feels very strange it is like a heart beat on the side of my head. Please respond back to me with this concern thank you.

I woke up with verry visible blue veins spidering out from both my temple/ ear area.  They weren't puffy/protruding like"spider veins" and I'd never seen them before.  They were very very visible but did not hurt at all.  It was really scary.  After about 20 minutes they went away.  Is this anything I should worry about?
