NHS Direct - I've had a stroke?

[david_orton_2000]

Hi just put in some details into a simple questionairre...perhaps to simple...it send the below:-

https://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/CheckSymptoms/SATs/InitialAssessment.aspx#progress
Possible stroke or serious illness:-(

I've not had a stroke, at least I hope not, just very dizzy all the time, had this thing for 5 days+ now....anyone else got this thing? Or is just me...
Maybe I need to breathe in some more solder fumes!!! ;-)

Cheers,
DaveO.

I was like it last week on Thursday so took the day off work. By Friday, more or less gone. Certainly wasn't a stroke!!

I'm guessing some form of virus, but I'm no expert.

Get to the bloody doctors Dave! Don't go asking on forums.

Reminds me of one time a fellow VACcer came on IRC after he'd slashed his hand open with a Stanley whilst making some furniture.

"Won't stop bleeding, I've soaked three towels there's blood everywhere, what should I do?"

"Go to the hospital?"

"Oh yeah, good idea!"

If you're injured or not well for more than a few days, go to the doctors/hospital.

A couple of years back I thought I was dying for 3 days so had to go to the doctors. I usually try and get better on my own, not wanting to give in etc, but on this occasion fortunately I saw sense and went to the doctor and was then off to the hospital for a chest x-ray. Fortunately the pneumonia was caught early before I got worse

Don't put it off.
