thinking maybe tooth related?
Will go to a&e tomorrow if it's still going, I don't have a GP in London
I had one last week which lasted a day but I chalked that down to getting off a long haul flight and sleeping badly
How often do you take pain killers for headaches?Will go to a&e tomorrow if it's still going, I don't have a GP in London

Could be a rebound cycle?

They'll love you at A&E over a bank holiday weekend. How about an NHS drop in centre rather than clogging up A&E?
Have to say I agree with this. A&E is not for headaches, if you can keep fluids down then I'd either go to a walk in centre, ring NHS direct and get their advice, or wait til Tuesdayfor docs app. Not ideal but your situation is neither accident or emergency (right now) so doesn't really belong in the A&E.
t lately?Glad it is getting better.
