Squad around tonight please...

[sara3]

are you seeing a doctor today?

[ummmm]

Ditto Sara...

If it's as bad as you explain...with no other symptoms, I would see a doctor.

[bobjugs12]

Sqad, listening to the location and description, could this be a small SAH?

Purple, can you describe the initial onset of symptoms? Any aversion to lights? Any recent head injuries or bumps and scrapes? Any recent blackouts or faints?

[slinky.kate]

[Dris]

[Sqad]

[slinky.kate]

see you had another episode of dizziness on 1st january,?????

[Purple_Popple]

No faints. No black out. Just this constant pain this will bethe 3rd day I awoke with this head pain thursday morning. Dizziness began last friday. I amin bed still ina darkened room. But light does not hurt as such.

[sara3]

why aren't you seeing a doctor??

[Purple_Popple]

I am more comfy resting on my right side. If I turn over to my left side dizziness starts and pain is worse like stabbing sensation. From front to back of left side.

[sara3]

don't you want to see a doctor?

[ummmm]

Third time lucky Sara eh?

[sara3]

well hey, maybe there's some word-blindness, too!

[Sqad]

Purple.....just to shut sara/ummmm up.....PLEASE see a DR.

[Purple_Popple]

I told all this to doc yesterday! Who gave codeine andstemetil. Its saturday. If I am no better by this aft then I will ring nhs thanks all again. X

[ummmm]

That wasn't my point Sqad...it was the fact that Sara asked 3 times with no acknowledgement.

[murraymints]

ear nfection ? need antibiotics?... I am still getting over one which resulted in perforated ear drum... really sore with bad head too .. sounds similar to me...mine still bit sore not as bad but it has been 2 weeks and 2 courses of medication to get here.

[Dris]

Still think its Neuralgia but ring NHS24 if perists.
Hope you feel better soon.

[Purple_Popple]

Im scared. I very rarely suffer withhead aches or migraines. Doc told me to wait til monday if its no better. Sorry if i annoyed anyne

[CuteToni]

It's understandable you're scared but people are giving you GOOD advice to phone NhsDirect. Keep calm, phone them and get a second opinion. (I suffer migraine and could not look at a monitor let alone type/post on a forum during an attack.)
