I noticed something weird the other day. When I gently touch the area of my face between the bridge of my nose and eye (where the tear duct sits I think), I feel a slight sensation above my ear on the same side of the head. It feels like a little pulse that mirrors the movement of my finger down my nose area.

It looks like I'm stimulating the trigeminal nerve somehow and it's causing the sensation on the side of my head. I have NO pain and no other focal or neurological defects that I can tell. No headaches, etc. I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of such a symptom and if it is potentially indicative of some other problem. I'm 27.
