You need a confirmation of your diagnosis. GCA primarily manifests as a unilateral headache as well as jaw claudication. See a rheumatologist

@pbrumlik I was immediately (same day) referred to a rheumatologist following blood work results. Based on those results and my symptoms, the rheumatologist started treating me for GCA and PMR. I had bilateral temporal biopisies 8 days later, which were negative, but the report stated that it wasn't conclusive that I didn't have GCA.
