Thank you firstly to PMR pro for replying so quickly on Wednesday evening 🌟 it was the nose bleed that concerned me as I never get them .

Thank you also to DorsetLady for advice. 🌟

Finally got through to speak to Doc , I was 104 in the telephone que gave up .

Got on line appointment , Doctor not concerned about headache … well made no comment on it advised to return to 12:5 for 6 weeks to see if that helps .

Thank you both once again you are always around this must be a full time job .

This forum is a god send learning as I go along with kind compassionate people πŸ‘

Have you got your own BP cuff? It might be worth investing in one and keeping an eye on your BP at least - your GP doesn't appear to be interested! And you know what to watch for for threatening GCA? Though you can always ask here about anything you are worried about.
