The signs and symptoms of Takayasu's arteritis often occur in two stages. Stage 1 In the first stage, you're likely to feel unwell with: 
Fatigue
Unintended weight loss
Muscle and joint aches and pains
Mild fever, sometimes accompanied by night sweats
 Not everyone has these early signs and symptoms. It's possible for inflammation to damage arteries for years before you realize something is wrong. Stage 2 During the second stage, inflammation causes arteries to narrow so less blood and oxygen and fewer nutrients reach your organs and tissues. Stage 2 signs and symptoms may include: 
Weakness or pain in your limbs with use
A weak pulse, difficulty getting a blood pressure or a difference in blood pressure between your arms
Lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting
Headaches or visual changes
Memory problems or trouble thinking
Chest pain or shortness of breath
High blood pressure
Diarrhea or blood in your stool
Too few red blood cells (anemia)
