GCA confusion

[harisr]

I have buldging temples .But I am only 17 .Is it a GCA

That's a stressful diagnosis to be contemplating.

Nobody here can diagnose you - you need to have a chat with your GP who I hope can reassure you and give appropriate guidance.

Vasculitis UK also have a community on HU. Maybe you could ask the question on there? They have several experts on there, such as Susan and John Mills, who can give you better advice and guidance as to where to go next. Usually I would agree to ask your GP, but GP's know very little about vasculitis. It is a rare disease and only a specialist would know. I have Rheumatoid Vasculitis, and I sometimes wonder if I might also have GCA as the veins in my temple also bulge.
