Pulsating vein on side of head with headache is this normal?

Depends: veins do not pulsate It is probably the temporal artery. It all depends as to how long lasting and how long are the headaches. Is it associated with any other symptoms? If persistent get medical advvice

Sounds like migraine: HOWEVER, you list a diagnosis of Pseudotumor cerebri, which can indeed cause a variety of headaches. Would suggest trying Diamox (acetazolamide) or Osmoglyn to decrease intracranial pressure, which in turn might stop headaches.
