Temporal arteritis?: If your head about 1-1.5 inches off of the midline at the base of the skull on the same side is NOT tender then you likely do not have an occipital neuralgia. If you have a relatively new pain, fever, chills, very tender to pressure over the right temple, I would wonder about a temporal arteritis altho unlikely. I would see your M.D. again ASAP or if unable, see urgent care or E.R. now.

I'm on Eliquis. I also have occipital neuralgia. During intercourse this week, I felt a shock up my neck as I was laying on my side. Would I aggravated the neuralgia? Because I am now having head aches & dizziness. Surely not bleed/Eliquis related?
