Update

Eventful day ended up at hospital at 11am. Originally had a GP emergency appt at 10am. Blood pressure was 196/123. Here's the same GP and another GP telling me it was just inflammation and or muscle spasms. Fast forward to 10:20am my GP has called the hospital and is sending me up there with a letter and a copy of my medical sheet (tells you all the times I have been to the surgery and what the reason was) not kidding you its from birth to present day. Had on it right at the start of it that I was premature and that I'm a twin lol.

11am until 11:45am I'm just sitting in the bay waiting to be seen it's really busy. I was on the AMU (Acute Medical unit). Then I was summoned by a male nurse to get blood pressure x 3 took, temperature and heart beat took. I then sat for 30 mins and a female nurse came to take blood. Typical couldn't find a vein and an ECG. Eventually got 4 tubes of blood took. Back to my original seat in time for lunch a sandwich. My Sister joined me at 1pm. I had to do a urine sample. At around 2pm I was took by the Doctor lovely woman from America. She did a full history, took a full physical, said bloods and urine were fine as was ECG. She said we'll send you for a CT scan... never had one before. To be honest I've actually never been in the hospital. Today has been a first for me in many ways. I was due to get the CT scan at 4:20pm so I got to go off the ward for a breather my Sister and I went to the main level where there are shops, vending machines, cafes and fresh air lol. Went back at 3:55pm per Docs request. Sat fir 10 mins then was whisked to the CT scan. Road in my first wheelchair lol. By 4:15pm I was waiting to be took back to the ward by the porter. 4:30pm until 6pm I was just sitting in the bay getting my blood pressure took over again getting my temperature took and also doing another urine sample. At 6pm I was took to a room. The Doc told me the CT scan shows a small lesion in my brain but that they are not concerned about it. However they need to get to the bottom of the pain. So I'm needing to go for an MRI scan and possibly a lumbar puncture may be needed. She says there is a possibility that I have pressure on my brain. Its concerning I'm in a lot of pain, am feeling sick, have a chronic headache and that my blood pressure is still high despite being took since 10am when I saw the GP.

So off home i went with more Codeine, instructions to call the GP surgery on Friday to get a home monitoring blood pressure machine, keep my nurse appt on 6th as its for my blood pressure, stick to my GP appt on 10th as this is recommended. Get the GP to do a urine test again and finally wait for my appt to come through fir the outpatient MRI clinic.

So long day I've been in hospital for 7 and a half hours. I literally thought they were going to admit me lol.

So much for my GP surgery telling me its basically a simple inflammation and or muscle spasms. Also they weren't too concerned about my blood pressure.

Btw my blood pressure all day has been anything from 171-209 (top numbers) bottom numbers are well into the 100's. I have a family history of high blood pressure (this includes my twin), stroke and heart attacks (both are my Mum and she had them in 2013 and 2017 respectively). My Mum actually was having a heart attack in the waiting room to the GP's. Yet it's not on my notes at all. Oh and nor is the fact I have a diagnosis of Bipolar and Anxiety. Yet they had I had Asthma despite it being in childhood and I haven't had an inhaler through the NHS in 20 + years. No joke. Doc asks me about it I said I'm not on any she was confused as was I. Yet Bipolar again wasn't written on my notes in front if here. She guessed by the meds.

Anyway this is long so I'm going to bed now its 9:30pm here. I hope to get sleep as I haven't slept since last Monday. Will keep you updated with what's going on

Thanks for reading guys :-)
