Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital examination said it's a blood-related issue. Could you please explain what temporal arteritis is?Doctor's answer:
When a patient experiences recurrent superficial temporal arteritis again, they may also experience headache symptoms, especially if the headache is pulsatile and occurs in the area of the superficial temporal artery. If you currently have this symptom, you can go to a higher-level hospital to schedule a follow-up visit with the neurology department. During the visit, a comprehensive autoimmune antibody test, complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and other detailed examinations should be conducted. Based on the comprehensive evaluation of the test results, it can be determined whether it is necessary to take some hormone-class drugs for treatment.
