Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that this feeling could be related to the position.

As you do not have any headaches or migraines, there is nothing to worry about!

Anyway, if this feeling is a new one and you have not noticed this before, I would recommend checking your thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction and closely monitor your blood pressure values.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Hi Doctor, Thank you. I was wondering could the pulsating be inflammation in the arteries? scares me because I have 4 kids to take care of and I'm hoping this is not it.

Brief Answer:
I would exclude temporal arteritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!

I understand that you are afraid of temporal arteritis, but I would exclude this disorder as it is associated to severe headaches and blurring vision.

So, just relax and don't worry about it!

Wishing all the best,

Dr.Iliri
