Headache + sleeping day&night

Hi I am asking about my mother.

She’s had intense headaches for 2weeks.

Sleeping all day and all night. (Which this is not normal) she is 67 but an active healthy person.

We called doctors middle of week and says she’s prob got a virus and if gets any worse call back.

But that’s it.

Anyone any thoughts??

Hello

speak to the gp again . Keep a list of when she is feeling unwell etc . Could be any number of things I would not like to guess. I hope she soon feels better and the virus goes .

Ring 111 as out of GP hours unless of course they work weekends. I would fully recommend phoning back and hopefully you will find out more. Also tell her to drink lots of water or fluids. I hope it get sorted soon . If after you have spoken to the GP you can of course private message if you want any more advice or someone to listen to you.

Thanks again, I just can not understand how intense her headache is, hurts to text. But managers to fall to sleep 7/8 hours a day and night. Cheers

Hello

Can you ask her for the information to tell the doctors or 111 as would be perfect from the and helps if she knows what area it hurts and what the pain is like etc etc . These will be just some of the questions and how she is feeling . Not sure if it is the case does she take any medication has that changed or a side effect even if the same ones even if boots have changed that could do it?? I am hear if you need me . I really hope it get sorted . Does she take anything for the pain? All the best !

If your Mum write a letter to the GP you would be allowed to talk on her behalf . Best wishes
