Q: Temple Pulses When Trying to Sleep
asked by: Kestal_Kayden on April 14th, 2007

I have come to realize that I can't sleep on my back or stomach, I have to sleep on my side or I will toss and turn for hours. There is one problem though, when I try to sleep on my side, I have these pulses throughout my temples. I try to ignore them though I do not have much luck and it is actually beginning to worry me.

I do not know much about this at all or where to begin looking. I've asked a few people just to see what their opinions were and they said that they dont feel anything like that when they sleep on their sides.

The pulses get pretty bad when trying to sleep; they deminish after about 30 minutes or so of mindlessly resting but if I switch sides or look up to see the time and put my head on the pillow, they start up again.

Due to this, I have not been sleeping very well and I am often drained when waking up. Infact, I feel fatigued throughout the whole day now, though I am not sure if that is connected. I just wanted to ask on the forum to see if anything could be done or even given an idea of what it could be?

you have an anxiety and just tired, thats why your pressure going up. ask your physician to prescribe you a remeron(mirtazapine) or find a mild relaxant(valeriana)to help you out of this. And learn relaxation techniques. Good luck Razz

I had a similar problem and the doctor prescribed Atenonol to relax my heart. My problem ended up being all related to high blood pressure so now I don't suffer as much as I used to.
