Ok back story:
Had dizziness and felt like brain was flopping in skull 2 months ago, went to A&E, they diagnosed vertigo, did CT scan of head and an ECG both fine. Also had pins and neddles in left side, shoulder pain and back pain deep in upper back to left of spine.

Since then I have been feeling more and more ill, shoulder pain (also cracks a lot) and back pain still there. Have on and off blurry vision and spots light-headedness, fatigue, feeling of lump in throat, very achy chest in the morning which clears after a while, just generally unwell.

GP has done blood tests, asked for a routine appt to discuss in a week and a half. I have had to go sick today as not well enough for work. Rang GP but no appointments

What do people think? Feel like I am going slightly mad as such vague symptoms but really do feel unwell.

Would a private GP be able to see blood test results? Just concerned I am at the point where I dont feel well enough to work

Do you get head pain? Light sensitivity?

Look at hemiplegic migraine and vestibular migraine, see if they are possibilities?

No head pain, sometimes bright light exacerbates the vision weirdness

Probably worth seeing a physio to rule out any soft tissue issues. Physios are good at looking at the whole body, rather than just where you feel the symptoms. A problem in one area can cause a host of symptoms in completely different areas.

Pins & needles, blurred vision, dizziness always warrants investigation, have you seen a Neurologist? Had MRI on head & spine? May be worth asking GP for referral, if he/she thinks it’s necessary.

If you don't have access to your test results online, you can ask for a printout to collect from the surgery.

They did a CT scan in hospital, will ask GP if I get an appointment. My test results are not available online, I dont think I have that access (only basic access) so will ask for a printout thank you

Ok I asked for a printout of test results and they can't as I have been marked as needs to be seen by doctor but they have no appointments so said urgent care is the only way to see doctor before that?
