If both GP and 111 have told you to call 999 or go to A&E, and you don’t feel right, then even though it’s hopefully nothing you should still be skipping all other plans and calling 999 or going to A&E
I know your all doing your best for me. Am just on my way to a mental health support meeting. Will speak to them. Some are medically trained. So will rule out anxiety before calling in the services. I am however feeling very tired a lot more than usual.
Update!! I went to my meeting as planned anyway got there, I was sweating and had all the pains again, they called 999, Guess what ? No ambulances.... so I called my mum who was nearby (Ex Nurse) shes brought me home.. Looked up Flu Jab 24 side effects - heavy sweating, low grade fever... guessing thats a big contributing factor here..

What did they say you should do, can your mother speak to them on your behalf or take you to A & E. The chest pains are a worrying symptom, did you tell 999 that you had chest pain.
I would call again if you feel no better soon.
They came at 5am had a go at me for wasting their time.. told you u can't do anything right. They got me to sign their laptop and then they laughed and drove off..
I went for the flu jab and came over all funny - they mentioned an ambulance.. felt better for a coffee. Today woke up from last nights sleep shaking all over like a seizure, also chest pains and also pains in my calfs??
Being neurodiverse (autistic) i dont know what to say on the phone.. has 111 got a text relay ?
