Throbbing (pulsing with blood flow or pain) is caused by swelling

or other conditions affecting the blood flow. The nerves around

the site are irritated or inflamed, and either the pulse or similar

muscle contractions are felt.

Sometimes a warm compress can increase the local circulation,

or gentle massage if the area is not too tender. This would also

reduce the sympathetic muscle motions. You can alternate this with

a cooler compress to dull the nerves.

If a serious pain occurs, or continuous throbbing, a doctor should be

consulted to check for any underlying injury or disease.

What could cause pulsating left eye?

A pulsating/throbbing sensation in the eye is either 'caused by stress (and too much coffeine, which seems to come along with stress for most people), as well as focusing on the same object for too long of a period. Try cutting down on the coffeine and take some relaxation breaks, and if you're staring at one object for long periods of time (i.e. Computer Screen), try to change your focus to other things here and there. The problem should go away within a day or two.
