what does a pulsating temple mean?

Dizziness is a symptom of high blood pressure. You can rule out high BP by checking your BP yourself at various times of the day using a BP monitor available at your local drug store. Migraine can manifest itself as a throbbing headache on one side of the head. Aneurysm of the superficial temporal artery can occur after blunt trauma. Since you did not mention any head pain or feeling of nausea, your condition is probably benign, perhaps resulting from involuntary twitching of your temporal muscle. You may want to have a carotid untrasound done to make sure your arteries are sound.

Hello there kspbear,

Since hoseclap has already given you a logical answer I believe that the best thing you can do is to listen to his advice. I would just like to add that high blood pressure isn’t that serious problem if you maintain it under control.

Of course first you should see your doctor about this and if he diagnoses you with high blood pressure than he will probably prescribe you some medications as well. You will need to take those and watch out on your nutrition, on the stress level and from time to time during the day you should check the stats of your blood pressure.

Also try to follow the routine when taking the pills because it is better to take them every day at the same time.

What does it mean if headache and nausea are a factor? I am thinking it’s a migraine, but I want to be sure?
