A member asked:
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.
A doctor has provided 1 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.
