Pulsing, bulging artery in forehead above right temple. pinching pain sometimes. advil (ibuprofen) lessens appearance greatly. normal bp. arteritis likely? age 33

Possibly: if the artery is tender when you touch it there is a good chance it is inflamed. You also need some blood tests to help determine if you have arteritis. See a doctor for proper work up.
