What Causes Pulsing Sensation On The Forehead?

My 5 year old son says his forehead is beating . He can feel a pulse on the right side of his forehead. He doesn t seem to have any other symptoms. He has not taken any medications, has no fever, no other ailments and says that he can see just fine. He was sitting on the couch and had been playing on an iPad for about 5 minutes before he started to feel anything. He plays on an iPad and with video games regularly (up to an hour each day), so that is not a new experience for him at all.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Probably your son is feeling his temporal pulse. If it is not associated with any symptoms like headache, stay relaxed. It is not a cause of concern. Occasionally we all may become aware of some pulse or the other. It is nothing unusual. No medication is required.

Hope that will take care of your query. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
