A member asked:
Having temple twitches in my left temple, it kind of feels like something is crawling under my skin, scared it is my pulse as there is an artery there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A large artery close under the skin at the temple called the temporal artery. When you are anxious you can see and feel it pulsing with each heart beat.
