Late night Ambulance

Last week I felt as if pressure was building up in my head. I was irritable and very light and sound sensitive. I had a headache and it felt as if a vice was clamping down on my brain.

Just before bed near midnight, I decided that I should get things checked out in case I had a slow intrcranial bleed or build up of CSF. So I rang the triage nurses at the local hospital and was told to ring an ambulance on 000 and come straight in.

Not wanting to make a fuss, I rang 000 and asked for an ambulance to come very quietly with no sirens as everyone was asleep!
