Could be: This could be a number a things but most concerning would be temporal arteritis which is a vasculitis that affects blood vessels. It can affect the temporal artery that runs across your temple to eye and can cause blindness if not treated. You could also have other conditions such TMJ and glaucoma. See your doctor to be evaluated soon.
