A member asked:
What can cause my arteries to be puffy on the sides of my head. 49 year old male. no other symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the blood vessels look increased and this is new, you should have it checked. If you have no other symptoms then it is likely a benign process. But, if you are having new frequent headaches, then a vasculitis should be ruled out. See your doctor. Good luck!
