A member asked:
Is pulsating temporal vein or artery an issue?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You can't feel any pulse over a vein. The temporal artery can be easily felt when you place 3 fingers together on the temporal area.

It is only the temporal artery that may be palpated pulsating, sometimes under normal circumstances, some other times with significant conditions.
