TEMPORAL ARTERITIS: The common symptoms of giant cell arteritis are headache, tenderness over one or both sides of the forehead, and feeling unwell. Other symptoms that may occur include pain in your jaw muscles when you chew which eases when you rest the jaw muscles, and visual loss. See a doctor immediately if you suspect that you have giant cell arteritis.http://patient.info/health/giant-cell-arteritis-leaflet
