10 Temporal Arteritis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #1: Headaches
A headache is one of the commonest symptoms of giant cell arteritis. About two-thirds of people diagnosed with the condition will experience some sort of headache. The headaches can vary in intensity and type.
They generally tend to develop quite quickly—within only one day—but they have been known to gradually grow in intensity over a period of days or weeks. Depending on which arteries are affected, the headache can be on one or both sides of the head. The pain will generally be focused toward the front of the head rather than the back.
