What symptoms?: First of all, a 20 year old will never have temporal arteritis. It is rarely seen under the age of 60. Secondly, you don't mention where your pain is so i cannot answer your question. If it is headaches, and they are sudden in onset, then you need evaluation including a ct scan or MRI of the head.
