I know this may sound really trivial but I can't stop thinking about it.:unsure:
Last night, I was drifting off to sleep, when I had the most excruciating pain shoot from my neck up into the back of my head, just behind my ear. I was about to scream with the pain as it becamse so intense and then gradually after reaching a peak it eased. I put off going to sleep for ages because I thought I was going to die in my sleep from a clot! :scared15:
Eventually I fell asleep and woke this morning to feeling like the room was spinning really quickly and feeling sick & disorientated. The dizziness is wearing off a bit but I still feel a bit sick. The back of my head feels like I have been hit on it. :huh:
My partner told me that if it had been a clot then I would be dead by now without treatment, but I know of someone who fell, hit his head and died days later suddenly at home due to a clot.:unsure: I know he thinks I am boring hypochondriac...he gets this weary tone in his voice when I mention how I feel.
Am I over reacting? I dont want to visit my gp because I am sure he thinks I am an hypochondriac and will just put it down to anxiety as usual. I swear I could visit him with a leg hanging off and he would put it down to anxiety! :lac:
Has anyone else experienced this type of pain...it just happened suddenly...like a spasm and with no headache.
