It sounds entirely reasonable that you went to the ED! Who knows if it was a sign of something really sinister like a brain haemorrhage? That's awesome that you got attended to quickly, given the rampant stories of overloaded EDs - which is a symptom of underfunding and not at all something you should feel personally responsible for. I'm glad they were able to treat you. It really sounded like hell...

🖤 It sounded like it was a bit of an anomaly from the snatches of staff conversation I could hear.

Definitely! I got checked for meningitis and asked a few questions to rule out anything else. The eye pressure I was most concerned about didn’t seem to be a worry and that eased off with every else. That was probably my main concern, so definitely worth checking! ✨
