A member asked:
Can stress cause temple arteries to bulge and pulsate ? mine don't hurt when i touch them but i sometimes get very slight headaches. im anxious too.

Anger, maybe: In some people, temporal arteries may bulge when they're angry. There is also a condition called temporal arteritis which has little to do with stress, but everything to do with autoimmune response. It's usually found in people much older than 18. If concerned about yourself, please see your own physician for discussion and exam. Help for stress ; anger is available too, with psychologists.
