Namechanger as I'm pretty sure he doesn't want people to know, so if you recognise us, please don't tell him.
We were pottering around the house today when DP came staggering into the front room holding his temple. He sat down in the chair and groaned, he was pale white and in obvious pain. Eventually I got out of him that he had a sudden terrible headache, he said it was like when you have too much ice cream but much worse. He squirmed and cried out a couple of times, and kind of curled up into a ball, sobbing. He is not the type to cry at all.
I got him a glass of water and some ibuprofen, but it just seemed to get worse, to the point where I was really worried that he was losing conciousness, so I called NHS direct, who sent an ambulance. When the ambulance came, they decided to take him to hospital. However, by the time we saw a doctor (with was only maybe 40 minutes after it all started) DP was back to his normal self. The doctor gave him a brief check over (shining a light into his eyes, making him do different facial expressions and so on) and then said it was probably just one of those things.
I am worried now though- he has been having odd mood swings lately and has a history of childhood epilepsy. I have noticed him having what could be absenses, and he sometimes completely forgets an entire evening. His brother also recently died of a brain tumour, although apparently that was completly non genetic.
He really isn't the type to go to the GP unless he absolutely has to though. It doesn't help that he doesn't seem to remember any of the absense type things or the worst bits of the headache or whatever today.
Tell me I'm being paranoid...
