Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone can help me as my health anxiety is through the roof because of this thing I’ve noticed recently. When looking at my eye closely the other day I noticed a very visible pulse, just next to the bridge of my nose in the corner of my eye socket. Of course, I googled it and all I could find was that a prominent pulse there indicates blocked arteries in the neck! Stroke is my big fear because of past symptoms and I can’t find anything to say that this can be normal, to see a visible pulse here. The artery there is called the angular artery and is joined to the main neck artery. I can’t see a reason why else it would be visibly pulsing other than something serious.
Has anyone else experienced this/have an idea of what else it could be?
The first doctors appointment my surgery can give me is 4 weeks away!
Thanks!
