Called 111 non emergency today. Please someone help?

[Jayde_96]

Today I had my hair done by a training hairstylist. I had my hair washed at a basin and my neck wasn't positioned correctly and it was really hurting. I read that you can have a stoke due to that so I was panicking like crazy. I still am! I called NHS 111 service to ask for advice. They told me that it wouldn't cause a stroke but could have caused a little injury. They said it's more likely to happen to someone older. I'm still really worried after the stories I've been told about salon strokes and the things I have read about it. If anyone has any advice. Should I be worrying? Do the NHS not know about it? Do they think it's silly and haven't listened to me?

Hello

Of course the NHS know what they are on about they are trained professionals !

This has happened to me before and it does hurt but I am still here and it has not caused a stroke and where you have read that it could cause one I am not sure in all my years this is a new one to me !

It could have pulled a little muscle at the most and all will be fine

How is your hair , do you like it , have you had anything different done , style color ?

Try and enjoy your hair cut or whatever you have had done and put these thoughts down , grrr anxiety it tries to stop us enjoying anything that should be a pleasure but let it know you are not going to listen

Take Care x

Hey thank you for your response, your responses always make me feel better haha. I had a full head of foils done so of course I was at the basin for ages while she took them out and washed my hair. It was really hurting but me being shy I didn't want to say anything. 

Yeah I guess you're right the NHS would have sent me to the hospital if they thought I was at risk of something like that. I just got worried after reading the news reports online about it. 

Thank you so much for your reply, means a lot x

I always get that neck pain. Every single time I go get my hair done! It hurts like hell and everytime I just wish for the washing to be over soon. But for that to cause anythign serious? Naaah, I don't think so. I am here and I am okay. Do not worry too much about it, its just uncomfortable. I have never heard about it causing anything serious either.

So, how are you feeling now? Did you calm down a bit?

Hey thankyou for your response yeah I have a bit of a headache and a bit dizzy but I think that's from all the worrying yeah I spose I should listen to the medical advice I was given and after all I'm not the only one that has been through that pain
