Sounds like Autonomic Dysreflexia, take a look at this sites homepage and there in information about it :specool:

The thing about the pulsing in the back of the head,, I get that,, but the rest I can't relate to,, since I seldom sweat,, anywhere, unless I have a fever.

I've thought it might be high blood pressure but bought one of those bp checkers and tested a few times while it was happening. I found no higher pressures than were my average,,, which is a little high anyway.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
