To feel like GP is fobbing me off?

For the past few months I’ve been waking up some days with really bad headaches, and then experiencing headaches throughout the day. Over the last couple of weeks it’s happened every morning; I wake up with a splitting headache and my eyes ache, it doesn’t matter how much sleep I’ve got, I feel absolutely horrendous every single morning. I’ve then still been having headaches throughout the day and generally having really low energy and feeling dreadful.

I phoned the GP and they basically said, because I have a 5 month old, it sounds like I’m just tired and it’s from disturbed sleep, said it’s very normal for new mums, etc.. I feel like they’ve just completely dismissed it. I don’t think it’s normal to have headaches like this every single day.

Should I try and get a second opinion from another doctor? Or does anyone have any ideas what might be causing it?

Get your eyes tested.

I agree about booking yourself in for an eye test PDQ
