Hi Chris,
The pulsing feeling when you put your head down could indicate that there is a sinus communication occurring withing that space. Which could be due to residual bacterial and/or a perforation into the sinus membrane. It also could be nothing to be concerned about and will dissipate over time.
One way to "give a look" at that area and see the location of the sinus is to have a dental periapical x-ray done. If there is a sinus communication it is best to see the size of it via the x-ray.
Has your dentist done an x-ray up there recently? Have you explained the pulsing feeling that you get?
