Does Rheumatoid Arthritis Lead To Tightness In Forehead And Headaches?

3 months ago I suffered central artery occlusion. I'm still being tested to find the cause. Recently discovered that my WBC & RBC are low & Platelets are fine but they have found that I have rheumatoid arthritis. More than that, we do not know yet. Lateley, though I have been experiencing a strange tightness & coolness on my forehead, accompanies by a very slight headache. Could there be a correlation between all this? Should I inform my doctor?

Doesnt look like that it is related but but still I think you should get yourself tested for thrombotic profile , get Lupus anticoagulant assay , anticardiolipin antibody .
