A member asked:
Could use your help docs! a friend told me that she feels a pulse just above her temples, is that normal cuz i don't feel that and she said she has no pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Temporal artery: There is a small artery in that location, so gentle pressure can often find the pulse there. If any pain in that vicinity (with or without touching) can indicate medical issue and need evaluation by Dr.
