Hi
I wonder if anyone can help please?
I noticed I had a headache/ pain in my head at New Year.
I didn't think much of it as I get mild headaches a couple of times a week which paracetamol and Ibuprofen sort out straight away.
I then realised that this one was not shifting. I began to wake up with it and it would last all day. Painkillers dampen it but it's still there...
It's in one specific place on the top left of my head. It is a dull ache but with sharpness every few seconds.
I have seen two different Dr's, the first saying tension headache with which I disagreed. It is constant and does not fit with tension headache symptoms.
So I saw another GP who ordered bloodtests. I was supposed to go back in a month but the pain is so draining, that I went back yesterday. A lot of my blood results were abnormal, but he's only treating me with folic acid.
He's sent me away with amitriptyline *twice a day and to come back in 3 or 4 weeks if no improvement.
I am so worried and scared. I struggle to get through every hour. I've thought about A&E but know how snowed under they are. Although it's not an emergency, to me it feels like it is.
I don't really have any other symptoms apart from feeling shaky all the time, but this could be from how upset I am making myself.
I'm not 100% sure why I'm posting, but just hope someone who has experienced something similar could put my mind at rest 🥺
Thank you in advance and apologies if I've posted in the wrong place or if I offend anyone xx
