You : You have had head trauma and now have neurological symptoms. You should get to a doctor as soon as possible. The shoulder symptoms may be related to an orthopedic issue. Both should be evaluated.

Question 4

i burned the side of my head with my straightening iron it was not my forehead it was like on my scalp above my temple did i hurt blood vessels?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely, I would : suggest you apply some aquaphor or vaniply to area, and use cool compresses or ice water to stop burning sensation. Then see derm if any blisters appear. and do not pick scab. Vessles are much deeper than superficial burns.

Question 5

veins on my head near temples and back are swollen and hurt for the past 5 months what is it?

Accepted Answer

Requires: exam, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment. Call for a medical visit.

Question 6

what could cause a large vein to bulge in my temple of my head?

Accepted Answer

Positional change.: The veins in the face just as the veins in the rest of the body change in size depending on changes in position as well as changes in levels of hydration and changes in pressure in the chest and abdominal cavity. In the face, the veins decrease with standing and increase with lying down.  Straining or laughing increase the the pressure in the chest which can increase the size of the facial veins.

Question 7

sensitive area above right temple on head. feels sensitive when i rub my finger over it and over what feels like a vein? 25 year old female

Accepted Answer

HMMMM...: Tough to say without an exam,..it could be a minor   muscle pain in that area or inflammation of the temporal artery that needs to be evaluated more thoroughly by a doctor.  If this persists, then see the Dr.  Best wishes.

Question 8

small vein on right side of head, near temple. can feel pulse on it with finger. is the vein there, not an issue, or shud it b checked out?

Accepted Answer

The vein: in that location is very near the artery and this is why you feel pulsations.

Hope this is helpful

Question 9

the veins on my forehead sink in instead of bulge, is that normal? if i put my head upside down though, they do go out. there is no pain, no injury.

Accepted Answer

Normal: That is a normal anatomical situation. When you're upside down the blood goes to the veins and they swell just like they might do that in someone's legs. Not to worry. Good health

Question 10

im 34 yrs female,the veins on my left temple are visible for as i remember.i used to get that sudden drilling pain in my left side of my head &it lasts for few minutes ever since i was a kid &it suddenly stopped.now it returned with same severit?

Accepted Answer

: Veins on the side of the temple are common and tend to become more prominent when the body is hot.  They will also become more prominent when straining, yelling or other maneuvers that increase intra-abdominal pressure.  They would not be associated with pain on the side of the head.
