A member asked:
If you have pressure on your temple, does that mean high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : You can't feel your BP and it doesn't cause symptoms unless very severely and dangerously elevated. You have pressure on your temple.(and that's all!) it's possible that you also have high blood pressure, but you'll have to measure it to find out.
