Pulsating Sensation In Head, Near Eyebrows, Tingling Sensation. Why Does This Happen?

I sometimes get a weird pulsing sensation in the front of my brain, just above the right eyebrow area. This just starting occuring within the last year or two. It is not painful, nor is there any tingling and I don't feel faint or nauseous or anything at all, it's just a pulse type of feeling that only lasts a second or two. It doesn't happen a lot (probably 5-10 times a month max)

It actually stopped for several months (maybe 6+) and just recently start happening again every so often. What's strange is that I've noticed it pretty much only happens after I've been watching TV for awhile or staring at my computer screen doing work. Any advice or suggestion about what it might be? Could this be sign of a tumor or something similar?

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure that your symptoms do not suggest any serious neurological disease and there is no need to worry.
These symptoms occur due to eye strain and fatigue, and this explains why you have it after watching TV or looking at a computer screen.
Please give some rest to your eyes and you would be fine.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
