Have Pulsation Inches Away From Mouth, Clearly An Artery, Anxious. Why Is That Happening?
So I have a visible pulsation about an inch away from the corner of my mouth, i is quite clearly an artery because it pulsates in time with my heartbeat, i am aware that it is normal, but i want to know why it suddenly became visible and what i can do to get rid of it, as it is causing me much anxiety and annoyance due to the fact when i drink or get to hot it feels as though my whole right side of my face is pulsating, i am 23 years old and am relatively fit.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
See your doctor / Get examined.
It may a problem of the artery itself – weakening of the wall (aneurysm)...
It may be a transmitted pulsation, from the problem of a nearby structure like muscle / infection in nearby tissues is a common cause
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
