I have a pulsating bulging vein at my left temple, a slight dull ache. I have also experienced flashes of light "prism" from both eyes.  I do take meds for blood pressure and have been under alot of stress.  Is this a cause for concern?I took an advil and noticed that the vein went down in size.  This has been on going for a few months.

Hello  Pulsating blood vessel in temporal region with dull ache along with flashes of light may be due to Temporal Arteritis. It is common in hypertensive patients. As you have mentioned that you are suffering from hypertension and also you are under severe stress so I would advise you to please visit a good psychiatrist for proper evaluation of symptoms. Don't ignore the problem. Thanks Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi, MD
