Pulsing blood vessel: For your peace of mind please see your doctor.  He/she can do an easy exam and let you know.  Sometimes we focus on something and it's difficult to get our mind off of it.  Yet, we need to rule out other possibilities. Peace and good health.

Question 3

after doing pushups, is my bp the same in my arm as in my neck? feel massive pulse in neck after pushups, the arteries can take it right?

Never take a bp: in the neck. Are you talking about your pulse. Your pulse will be the same at any place in the body you take it. Pulse is often stronger with and upon stopping exercise. Yuor blood vessels are strong enough to handle it.

Question 4

do migraines cause temple arteries to bulge a bit ? their not noticeable but i can feel them and they pulsate. i am 18. no pain when i touch them.

Accepted Answer

No: Temporal arteries should be palpable normally. Migraine is a vascular headache intra-cranially, yet tenderness can occur extra-cranially.  Migraines are also uni-lateral, one side of the head; tension headaches and other varieties may be bilateral...  Temporal arteritis (ta), an autoimmune disease, can cause tenderness along the temporal artery.

Accepted Answer

Not your heart: This is most likely musculoskeletal pain -- probably is caused by strain/sprain and nerve irritation/inflammation -- you can take Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) but if not relieved readily, please see your doctor.

Question 6

i have had a headache for several days.  now it is stronger with visible artery on the temple which pulsates.  what is it?

Accepted Answer

Headache pulsing: Though the obvious artery can be associated with a benign headache, this is a situation where you need to be seen.  There is a condition called temporal arteritis that can cause headaches but many more problems neurologically and it has to be treated to avoid those things.  There are tests your doctor can order, or see a neurologist.

Question 7

stand up and neck start pulsate super strong, do the carotid arteries expand or narrow? took bp and was normal, shouldnt it be high?

Accepted Answer

Pulsate: With blood flow and pressure, the artery walls will expand with each heart beat, then relax and deflate a bit, and the cycle continues with each heart beat.  When you stand up, people can sometimes get a low blood pressure, due to the positional change, and the heart may try to compensate by increasing its heart rate, and therefore, this may be more noticeable in your neck.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

: You can't feel any pulse over a vein. The temporal artery can be easily felt when you place 3 fingers together on the temporal area.
