Yes, you can feel a pulse, often described as a heartbeat, in the temple area.
This pulse is due to the superficial temporal artery, a major artery that branches off the external carotid artery. This artery runs close to the surface of the skin in the temple region, making it easily palpable. Feeling a pulse in your temple is a normal physiological occurrence.
While the sensation might feel like a heartbeat, it's actually the rhythmic expansion and contraction of the artery in response to the pressure wave created by each heartbeat.
Essentially, what you're feeling is the pressure wave of your heartbeat traveling through the artery in your temple.
