If it is during office hours where you are, otherwise go to the ER. Don't leave it - it's not worth the risk. Hope you get the advice you need quickly!

Best wishes,

Barbara

Sorry - computer problems with over-sensitive touchpad! If it's during office hours, ring your GP for advice, otherwise go to the ER!
