Hi,
Your symptoms could be due to migraine, temporal arthritis. I would suggest to consult ER department and undergo clinical examination and ESR test. If ESR will be >=50 mm/hour then probable diagnosis is arthritis. Biopsy will confirm diagnosis. Drugs like steroid is the treatment. So consult ER as early as possible for diagnosis.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sagar
