I've had to call an emergency helpline (NHS24) regarding my headache.

Back ground info... I've had a headache since Dec and it's quite severe. It affects the bottom of my skull. Like a hammer/drill going through my skull. I made a GP appointment but it wasn't until 23rd (Thurs). So the pain started getting sever on Thursday (16th) my neck is now affected and I can't lie down, sit or turn without being in agony.

So today I called 111 (NHS24) at around 10:40am and got asked questions etc then the operator told me to await a phone call to go for an outpatient appointment at a local hospital. So I got an appointment for 2:45pm. Off I went unsure what to expect.

The doc wants me to get an x ray she thinks it might be the discs in my back. Gave me meds for it. Took my blood pressure it was high the 3 times she took it.

So on Thursday morning at my GP appointment they will have my notes from today so should read them. But if they don't then I'm to ask for an x ray, blood pressure to be checked and also my cholesterol. Ironically I'll need to either go back to the hospital I was just at to get the x ray or I will have to go to the main hospital. The hospital I was just at is a smaller hospital made up of lots of services but x ray department isn't opened at weekend's so you have to go to the main hospital where A&E is

So here is to me getting better I need sleep please
I'm sorry to read that you've been in such pain for so long, Miss Laura. I'm glad that you are getting help. Hopefully they'll figure out the cause quickly so the proper treatment will come quickly.
