Hi, On friday I put my hand up to my left temple to feel the pulse and one of the arteries pulsated against my finger and I felt a sharp pain go through the left side of my head and leave. Now I feel a slgiht pressure against the left side of my face and skull . I am curious if I did anything major or if my mind is just playing tricks on me.
