Thank you for choosing HCM
There is a small chance that this is Giant cell arteritis or Temporal arteritis. Because there is a small chance of this, you should go see a Doctor as soon as possible or go to the ER.
The reason for this is because it can lead to blindness. You can diagnose it easily by getting a biopsy done of the artery and by getting an ESR done.
All the best. Follow up later so I can help you better.
Hope this helps you
