Young adult daughter living and working away from home several hours away. Phoned her for a catch up tonight and she was complaining about a really bad headache for several hours. She then sent me this photo. I did a chat GPT and Dr Google and came up with phone an ambulance this is a medical emergency. Daughter refused to go to A&E, speak to 111 or have an ambulance and didn’t want any fuss. Spoke to her several times and she was insisting it was due to a chocolate brownie milkshake from earlier that day. Does anyone have any advice? Its after midnight and I can’t sleep and she isn’t responding to messages.

I don’t know whether I am over reacting or not. I will phone her first thing.

You’re not overreacting. I had headaches and vommiting and ended up having emergency brain surgery. If she’s the same in the morning she must go to the emergency department. If it’s something serious it won’t suddenly get better and will just continue, so if it does she needs to seek medical attention.
