Hi doctor,
Recently, my left temple sometimes feels like there is a blood vessel convulsing, it feels like something is crawling in my blood vessel. I don't feel any pain but I do feel discomfort from the occasional jerking. I want to ask what is the convulsion of the blood vessel in the left temple? I look forward to hearing from the doctor. Thank you very much doctor.
