Need to see doctor: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor as your symptoms suggest temporal arteritis. If it is the case, your vision is at risk and you should see a doctor without delay. Wish you good health!
