[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7148446, member: 54866"] First piece of advice: [U]if you can't through to a GP and you feel you are particularly unwell, then you need to speak to 111[/U]. [I]Before Covid started, I would have said get yourself to a major hospital or even MIU[/I], they all have wards/clinics that are not A and E acute but see patients who are unwell and need looking at. I don't know why people are so insistent on seeing a GP, there are other places to go. Nobody has to sit and wait or suffer in silence. That said, far too many morons call for ambulances these days for clearly non-acute problems. Don't be like them. 111 will have doctors and nurses who assess your symptoms. It would be helpful if you have been taking your temperature or even have a digital blood pressure monitor or pulse oximeter and can tell them over the phone what these numbers are. Anyway, the OP stated he has been sweating, presumably high temperature, head and joint pain. High temperature is normally associated with some kind of infection. Severe headache that won't ease despite painkillers etc means you should be calling 111. As above, these people will dispatch an ambulance if they deem it necessary. [/QUOTE]
