hi, I have had the worst head ache of my life for the past 3 days, i cannot sleep and have to keep my head still or it hurts too much, i have a cold compress on. My temp is 38.3 so not too bad and i am obviously managing to type this so not dying but i have now got some small red spots on my stomach, ive tried the glass test but cant relly tell if they go or not.
should i ring doc or wait till morning?

I imagine you have an out of hours service, in which case there'll be someone on a switchboard. So phone them, you won't be waking anyone.

Could be they say see the doc in the morning, could be they send someone over. In any case it's just a phone call, so you might as well. May be worth it.

Good plan - but in my experience the local out of hours service is much, much quicker to call back.

Hope you can get something done.

You could try and phone nhs direct. They will advise you what to do.

I would take yourself straight to an emergency room if you have a rash to go with the headache.

SofiaAmes · 04/06/2007 01:58

I wouldn't trust anything nhs direct told me to do.
