Sorry to hear you have been having all those symptoms and that you are not feeling well. You did well to take steps to get it sorted and hopefully you will find out soon what is causing all this.
In the meantime, perhaps you could give our nurses a call and talk things over with them? Their number is free from UK landlines and you can reach them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. It does sound like you need to talk to someone now, so don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call.
