So for a while now i've been having headaches and seeing floaters/ spots of light, feeling slightly dizzy etc. I went to my Doctor this week to talk about my health in general and these symptoms in particular. I had the back of my eyes checked and all seemed to be fine. My GP said it was probably due to stress/anxiety and she wasn't too concerned with anything I'd said, but, if it continues I should come back and she'll refer me a Neurologist. While, i'm not massively anxious about these things right now, I am considering the possibility of jumping the gun and going private to see a Neurologist and have a MRI scan. I've recently come into some money, so I could pay and there's a facility close by that I could go to. I just think it would be easier to get myself checked out now and hopefully have my worries stopped than waiting to go back to the GP and the having a further wait to be referred on.
I was just wondering has anyone had any experience with going private for certain tests etc and if so what advice they could give about going about it? Thanks in advance!
