Hi,
Regarding your concern, you should know that your symptoms could be related to compression of the temporal artery from your glasses. Anyway, I would recommend performing inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) to exclude temporal arteritis which could mimic some of your symptoms. But if the above tests result normal, you should try to wear another pair of glasses, maybe more large, to avoid pressure on the temporal region.
Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
