I'm a 23 year old male. I've gone to my primary physician over 5 times in the past 6 months about this problem, but I am ignored and told it's "stress" every time...it's not. The problem:
I get random, pulsating spasms on my temples...it's always one side or the other, NEVER both. It's right above my ear, where I can feel the temporal artery. The spasms do not keep time with my pulse...the timing is random, but once it starts, it usually lasts a few hours...pulsating at least once a minute, sometimes 20 times in a minute, sometimes once. If you put your hand over my temple, it feels like if my temple was pregnant...it's an outward kicking sensation on your hand.
When I'm sleeping and it starts, you can actually hear it hitting the pillow, which pretty much means I can't sleep on that side.
It rarely comes with any pain, and a CT scan said I have nothing, but I know something is wrong, it can't be normal to have this on a daily basis for a whole year.
