If temporal arteritis is suspected, blood tests ( full blood count, sedimentation rate, CRP, etc.) are necessary.
Biopsy of the artery also is another test for diagnosis confirmation. Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
